Jeremiah tells us that those who trust in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him, will be blessed, but those who put their trust in men will be cursed. The challenge before us today is where are we putting our trust? God's own people had lost their way and put their trust in idols - a path that was to lead them to destruction. Jeremiah tells them that their only hope is putting their trust and confidence in God. Do we travel the road that trusts in this world, which has no hope, or do we go along the path that leads to eternity with God? What does it mean to trust in God? We need to trust in His love, trust in His word, trust in His promises and trust in His plans for our future.

We live in a world that does not want to wait for anything. We are not disciplined in our society to be patient - everything has to happen now! How often do we, in the rush of life, stop and listen to what God has to say to us. We are reminded in Isaiah 40:30 that our strength will be renewed for those who wait upon the Lord. But what is this waiting? A lifetime of waiting on the Lord is a lifetime of presence with and service for the Lord and not expecting Him to serve us. We need to be able to pause regularly from our busy lives and spend time with God so that we can understand what He has planned for us to serve Him. Let us make being in God's presence our passion!

Jesus came to the woman at the well at her point of need and brought wholeness to her. Jesus is a God who bends down to us and stands up for us. God wants us to receive His grace and go out this week and live in it. Jesus doesn’t just want to get you into heaven, he wants to get heaven into you.

Like Paul, we too can be bound in chains, even though they may not be physical. Paul reminds us to keep our eyes on Jesus, because this brings the deepest quality and meaning to our lives. No matter what happens around us, Paul calls us to stand firm in Christ. It is when we can not do any more that Jesus comes in His mighty power and does what we can not. Our attitude is to be like Christ’s, who emptied Himself for us and did everything for God’s glory. As we seek Him and live in intimacy with Him, He will work amazing things in us and bring His plan to completion.

God wants two things for us: that we know the heart of God in Christ and to know our heart in the light of Christ. We are to minister out of God’s love for people, therefore we need to know Him deeper.
