jerimiah 31:3 friday
However, I like to read the ESV version for verses I particularly like because I want to understand more about them and reading two versions seems to deepen my understanding.
This verse...well...Have I drawn thee. and I have continued my faithfulness to you. They just don't say the same thing.
Good old King James tells me I have been made by God with loving kindness and the ESV tells me that God has been faithful to me. Which, honestly, doesn't really seem like his job...isn't it my job to be faithful to him?
All of this brings to mind Luke 2:19, But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
So, I suppose, I too will have to treasure up these words and ponder them in my heart until they are made clear to me.

amen...
Yes, my dear sister, ponder them......I see God's faithfulness to me as one of His great attributes...thus I know I can trust Him always - even when I fail to be faithful to Him.... :)
