Seekest thou things for thyself?




"And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD..."
Jeremiah 45:5

A great passage from today's sermon. Made me think, how many times do I seek great things for myself? How many times do I put my own personal wants-over Him, or other people? Does personal gain tempt me?

What if, I shifted my focus onto Christ, and others? I wouldn't be so important anymore, if my focus wasn't on me, it'd be on the ones I was serving. Good point :)

  2. That really stood out to me, too. I 'seek great things for myself' way too often!

    That is one neat picture, too, btw :)
