One Heart and One Purpose

Scripture:

Jeremiah 32:39 "And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship Me forever, for their own good and the good of their descendants".

Observation:

Jeremiah had prophesied such destruction on God's people because of the idols they had followed and worshiped. Here he is telling the people that, even though their sin has brought the judgment of God, God will restore them to Himself one day. When they return to Him and to their land, He would give them one heart and on purpose, to worship Him forever. God goes on to say that this was for their own good and the good of their descendants.

Application:

Though we are not national Israel, we are the people of God. We are His children and this word is for us today. God still wants to give His people one heart and one purpose, to worship Him forever. The one thing God wants from us more than anything else is our worship. He is looking for a people who have one heart and one purpose, that God would be worshiped through their lives. We need to live out our lives as an act of worship to God in everything we do. People should see that we have one purpose and one heart and that everything in our lives revolves around that purpose. Worship is more than a song, it is a lifestyle of Christ being the center. It is having one heart and purpose in life, the worship of our God.

Prayer:

Lord, help me have one heart and one purpose, to bring You worship in everything I do. Be the center of my life and let my life bring You praise. Teach me to worship You with my everyday life. Give me and the people of Word of Life one heart and one purpose, to worship the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

Sincerely,

Jeff
