Jan 4, 2022 · What God wants is really quite simple: He wants us. All our service for God must flow from those two commands to love, or it is not real service; it is fleshly effort. And Romans 8:8 says that those who are “in the flesh cannot please God.” First, God wants us to trust in His Son as Savior and Lord (Philippians 2:9–11).

Ironically, this popular verse came from a prophet who was very unpopular. Most of Jeremiah’s words spoke of judgment. The people of Israel were deeply ingrained in idol worship, and God called them to repentance. Through Jeremiah, God also speaks to the Israelites exiled from Jerusalem, saying, “I know the plans I have for you.” At this point, the...
God wants good for us. All the time. Peace. Joy. Freedom. Love. Kindness. There is so much available for those who love God and receive from Him. Throughout the days of Creation, God called his work good, and he has never stopped declaring his desire for good to be seen through his workmanship, which we are. However, the enemy knows our design to s...
In chapter 29, we read God saying, “I know the plans I have for you,” and those plans include prosperity. We hear something we want to hear.

Throughout Scripture, and in glimpses of Jeremiah’s life, God draws near to us, and we draw near to him (James 4:8; Jeremiah 29:12-14). He calls us from wayward ways that keep us on a path of destruction instead of a path of good (Provers 3:5-6). He desires hearts that turn towards him no matter how bad things have been. Before Jeremiah sets out to...
1. Acknowledge Our Desire to Choose Good for Ourselves Everything changed between man and God when Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. We all want to decide for ourselves what is good rather than listen and respond to the one who gives good. Acknowledge this impacts you too. 2. Acknowledge Good and Bad as Part of Life....
