Well THAT Caught my Attention

Hello Friends!

This past week has been a blessed one! I have a lot of work to do but it was definitely one of the more "manageable" weeks. Having Scholar's Day on Wednesday may have helped! And going to the mall...twice may have contributed to my successful week as well...(because successful shopping trips always manage to put a smile on ones face)

Anyway, moving on, I would like to start doing weekly posts on verses that have "stuck out" to me in particular, during my Bible reading time. Some weeks there will be more Bible verses than others that stuck out, but I want to look back one day and see how the Lord was speaking to me during this time, through his word. 

So here goes my first "well THAT Caught my Attention post! 

"I know, O Lord, that a man's life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. Correct me, Lord, but only with justice-not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing." Jeremiah 11:23-24
I do not know what about these two verses, but reading them made me so emotional! I guess I can closely relate? As humans we know we do wrong in God's eyes, and it's all about asking Him for mercy and grace. This verse indeed declares God's power over all. But most of all, I feel badly that I do do things that aren't pleasing in God's eyes, and that I sometimes choose to wander the way I want to go, not necessarily the way God is leading me. That is my prayer: Lord help me to walk in the path you have prepared for me, and have mercy on me in my wrong doings.
Well have a blessed weekend. I hope to post more tomorrow!
Blessings, 
Lesya
