Jeremiah 45:5 ” Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.”

In Psalm 131:1, David expressed his deeply felt confidence in the Lord in a simple, clear, yet profound way…”I don’t concern myself with great matters.” … choosing instead to make his highest priority a close & right relationship with God. In Matthew 6:25-27, Jesus teaches about not seeking out “things” but seeking first God’s Kingdom and all those “things” He would then supply. But the promise found in this passage in Jeremiah in an another translation reads, “I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.” Which is also echoed in Psalm 68:20, “Our God is a God Who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.” God promises to save us from illness and death through His Son, Jesus’, life, death & resurrection…delivering us from eternal death & destruction to eternal life.
