The Lord sent me to prophesy against this Temple and this city. The Lord gave me every word that I have spoken. But if you stop your sinning and begin to obey the Lord your God, he will change his mind about this disaster that he has announced against you.
– Jeremiah 26:12-13(NLT)
BEGIN TO OBEY THE LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
The Lord send us prophets so we can begin to meditate
Look and carefully examine how you are and how you relate
If there is any sin you have been convicted of, confess it
God will change you and you will be filled with his Spirit.
Begin to obey whatever the Lord asks of you
You will be amazed at what he can do
Miracles are not far to those who choose obedience
Disasters come to those who continue to be insolent.________________________________________
Many of us including me have at one point in our lives been insolent. I think it is normal for teenagers to go through this phase in their lives so that they can learn to see what the consequences of their wrong choices can bring about. But if it is a middle age person who continues to act like a rebel without a cause, there must be sin that is not seen at all.
The bible tells us how the prophet Jeremiah begged the Israelites to change and stop sinning so God will spare them the disaster.

HE KNOWS WHERE I AM GOING Poem Devotional
January 17________________________________________
But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold. For I have stayed on God’s paths; I have followed his ways and not turned aside.
– Job 23:10-11(NLT)
HE KNOWS WHERE I AM GOING
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know where you are going?
Do you serve the Lord and keep on praising?
Many people don’t know their destination
They live a life of chaos and confusion.
God knows where exactly we are going
We may not be aware but he is leading
Follow Jesus Christ and you will never be lost
He gave his only begotten Son at a high cost.

According to an article written in Daily Mail, Paul Kendall said: For as long as road maps have been around, men have complained that women cannot read them. Now a team of scientists have concluded that there are very real biological reasons behind the cause of numerous in-car arguments. The researchers claim that ‘spatial intelligence’ is seriously affected by the female hormone oestrogen.
Many people both men and women alike cannot navigate through life easily. The bible says that if we follow God’s lead, he will lead us to a life that he promised. It is only the Lord who knows what is best for us and if we abide in him, we won’t be lost. We will learn to traverse through life effortlessly.
PRAYER
Lord, pick me up when I get lost in this world.
REFLECTION
What did God do to rescue you when you got lost?
