Today’s Scripture: I will pursue them with sword, famine, and pestilence, and will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, a terror, a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them, Jeremiah 29:18 ESV
Do we realize God is pursuing us with His word? I am thankful God pursued me with horror when I was refusing His persistent word and prophesies that Jeremiah 29:19 states that the LORD sends.
I am thankful that God stripped away my arrogance of my own understanding and that He has filled me with a future and a hope as He promised in Jeremiah 29:11.
I am thankful for the truth of His promise of Jeremiah 29:12 that when I called out to Him He heard me. I am thankful for His continuing fulfillment of Jeremiah 29:13 that when I seek Him with all of my heart I find Him.
I am thankful for the persistence of God’s word that overcame the lies I once believed. Because of His persistence and promises I now know joy that is beyond my understanding.
Are you thankful the LORD pursued you?
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, thank You for Your persistent words and prophesies. LORD, thank You for loving me when I did not love You. LORD thank You for pursuing me when I was running from You. Thank You for hearing me and allowing me to find You. LORD help me to share Your mysteries so others will have a future and a hope in You. Amen

Ouch! This is a hard hitting but hopeful affirmation Tom. It really shows the truth that God even loves us through judgment.
Amen Joseph! Great way to put that “hard hitting and hopeful”. The truth of His Word. May we be instructed by it all! Blessings and thanksgivings!
Amen!
Oh WOWZA, Tom–am I ever!! I so agree with all your thankfuls here, me too. I’m amazed that He kept pursuing me, wonder why He didn’t give up–but He understood things better than I expected He would, and most of all He LOVED me–no matter what. God bless you BIG–love, sis Caddo
Amen Sis, I am thankful He didn’t destroy me and still hasn’t given me what I deserve. I am thankful His love pursued me more than His wrath. He first loved us so we can love and I pray we continue to praise Him in thanksgiving from our places of gratitude. BIG thanksgivings!
