Daily Word On 27th Jan 2024
Lord, increase our faith by listening and obeying Your Holy Word, Amen!!
Jeremiah 7:23–24 (NJB): My one command to them was this: Listen to my voice, then I will be your God and you shall be my people. In everything, follow the way that I mark out for you, and you shall prosper. 24 But they did not listen, they did not pay attention; they followed their own devices, their own stubborn and wicked inclinations, and got worse rather than better.
Here God is referring to one command: listen to His voice, which ultimately means listen to and obey His Word. Every day, we read and listen to many Words of God. He promises that if we follow him, we will prosper spiritually and materially, and we will not lack anything in our lives. But He complains that we didn't listen and instead followed our own inclinations. Our hearts grew hard, and we followed our natural desires, which displeased God. As a result, our lives deteriorated rather than improved.
Lord, we pray for our material needs and not pleading for our strength, which is obstructing our spiritual life. Lord we lament for our lack of faith which is keeping us away from You.
