WILLFULNESS to seek his guidance is increased to LIFETIME high levels. I don't know how this has happened, or when. However, I find myself spiritually "asking" God for the answers or the methods/decisions that will lead me closer to the truth.

Amen to that, a lot of us do these days.
I hear about the Word many more times a day than even a year ago.
Praying for God’s knowledge and wisdom is one of the best things you can ask for imo.
I couldn't agree more. We would not have been given the God-like power of choice if we were not to seek His guidance.
Praise the Lord. He will win and His Justice will be served to all.
To all!
SAME! PTL!
Peace be with you my fren
When You seek truth there is only one source. Congrats on finding that source.
Praise God for not giving up on us. I have also felt the draw back to God’s truth and understanding. I have been very blessed reading the Word again. Jeremiah really feels appropriate for todays times. Lots of hits in the Old Testament. So much knowledge, understanding and peace! God is so good to us.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 ESV
“for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” James 1:3-8 ESV
Thank you for this
Amen fellow brother/sisters!🙏💯❤️
Downvote for the click bait title.
Downvote for the bad attitude.
I don't downvote
Down votes don’t count towards total “karma” for better or worse, but reflect public opinion well. In that I do not feel they are without merit.
Sometimes a down vote is looking out for others as well. “Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” Philippians 2:3-4
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.” Revelation 3:19 NKJV
Lev 19:17 (ESV) says, “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him.”
“Anyone who encourages such people becomes a partner in their evil work.” 2 John 1:11
Not making the case you have to downvote, by any means please continue to vote your conscious. I offer these scriptures in support of a case for the merits of well considered downvote usage. They don’t harm, though emotionally sorrow may result. They can make a stern statement of public response. Or even attest to a limited disagreement.
“I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while. Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way. For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.” 2 Corinthians 7:8-10 NLT
“If you listen to constructive criticism, you will be at home among the wise. If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.” Proverbs 15:31-32 NLT
I just state my objection instead of hiding behind the down doot
