Seek Me

 

Do not seek
just for yourself

but seek
after Me

and your life
shall be a prize

for everyone
to see.

You establish my seeking.

” ‘Do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I will bring adversity on all flesh,’ says the LORD. ‘But I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.’ ” Jeremiah 45:5 NKJV

Listen

 

Listen, listen
carefully

remember
who I am

trust in Me
completely

and to fear
put an end.

You establish Your voice to me.

“Now it happened, when Jeremiah had stopped speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, all these words , then Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, ‘You speak falsely! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘Do not go to Egypt to sojourn there!’ “. Jeremiah 43:1,2 NKJV

Abide

 

Stay and
abide with Me

here in this place
I’ve given

do not be afraid
for I’m with you to save

and My mercy is real
and living.

You establish where I abide.

” ‘If you will still abide in this land, then I will build you and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up. Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him,’ says the LORD, ‘for I am with you, to save you and deliver you from his hand. And I will show you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and cause you to return to your own land.’ ” Jeremiah 42:10,11,12 NKJV

I Free You This Day

 

I will
remove the chains

that have been
on you

so you can do
all that I

ever ask
you to.

You establish my freedom to serve you.

A Prize

 

I will deliver you
out of the hand

of all that
you fear

and your life will be
a prize to you

as you trust that I
am near.

You establish my trust in You.

” ‘But I will deliver you in that day,’ says the LORD, ‘and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. For I will surely deliver you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be as a prize to you, because you put your trust in Me,’ says the LORD.” Jeremiah 39:17 NKJV

Surrendering

 

Surrendering
to Me

to My will, My words
My ways

brings you
new life

and hope for all
your days.

You establish my surrender.

“If you surely surrender to the king of Babylon’s princes, then your soul shall live; this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live. Please, obey the voice of the LORD which I speak to you. So it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.” Jeremiah 38:17,20 NKJV

The Same

 

My word
that I give you

cannot
be changed

though many things
fade away

it will remain
the same.

You establish the truth of Your word to me.

“When Jeremiah entered the dungeon and the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days, then Zedekiah the king sent and took him out. The king asked him secretly in his house, and said, ‘Is there any word from the LORD?’ And Jeremiah said, ‘There is.’ Then he said, ‘You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon!’ ” Jeremiah 37:16,17 NKJV

The Word Of The Lord

 

My word is
forever

it will never
go away

it is life
to you

when you heed
what I say.

You establish Your word to me.

“Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words which Baruch had written at the instruction of Jeremiah, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying: ‘Take yet another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.’ “. Jeremiah 36:27,28 NKJV

Liberty

 

I will
set you free

from the bondage
you have known

to be
at liberty

to live for Me
and grow.

You establish my liberty.

“I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying, ‘At the end of seven years let every man set free his Hebrew brother, who has been sold to him; and when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you.’ Then you recently turned and did what was right in My sight – every man proclaiming liberty to his neighbor . . .” Jeremiah 34:13,14,15 NKJV

rebuild and
renew

for I’m in
the business
of healing
you.
