“Thus says the Lord of
armies, the God of Israel, ‘Amend your ways and your deeds, and I will let you
live in this place.’”— Jeremiah 7:3
In the lives of some people,
failure continues as an unending story. They try different kinds of business
ventures repeatedly, but none of them produce successful results. Because of
this, many who are struggling run from place to place, visiting various temples
and praying for business blessings. They perform different rituals seeking
success. To such people, God gives counsel today through this meditation verse.
God says, “You do not
have to run everywhere; I will let you dwell in this place.” That means, “I
will bless the very work you are doing now and establish you in it.”
Yes, beloved, if God
decides, He can lift us up and make us prosper in any place and in any work.
But at times, the reason we are not able to receive blessings is because of
certain behaviours and actions in our lives that God does not approve of. That
is why today’s verse instructs us: “Amend your ways and your deeds.”
In our work, God expects
honesty; in our life, He expects purity. These two are essential.
I know a friend who did not
have a proper job. His wife was a schoolteacher. With the desire to help him
start a good livelihood, she arranged for a loan from the bank and set up a
business for him. The husband hired a woman employee and ran the business well
for a short time. But later, he developed an inappropriate relationship with
that woman, got involved in shameful activities within the workplace, neglected
the business, and incurred heavy losses.
His wife, unaware of his
true character, again arranged another business for him. But he did not change.
Therefore, he failed once again. All her jewellery was lost; debts increased;
their own house was gone. Now he runs from temple to temple making vows and
offerings. Yet, it seems he still hasn’t realized his mistake.
However, God does not punish
everyone in this manner. Many live wickedly and still flourish in their work.
But there are some whom God loves deeply; He allows painful situations to turn
them back to His path.
Yes, does not the Scripture
say: “For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He punishes every son
whom He accepts.” — Hebrews 12:6.
Beloved, today I have
described the lack of business blessing as an example. But this applies not
only to business—it applies to every area of family blessing. Therefore,
whatever blessing we desire, it is essential that we first correct ourselves.
To all who seek blessings
from Him, God speaks through today’s meditation verse: “Amend your ways and
your deeds, and I will let you live in this place.”
