Do we use the resources God has given us to help those in need or do we hoard what we have for our own self-preservation? These verses help us evaluate if we care more about ourselves and less about the needs of others.

We can have a tendency to play God in our lives and in the lives of others and when we do, we plan God out of our lives. It's important to remember that life is short and it's in our best interest always, to let God be God in our lives, after all Father knows best.

Do you ever need to get back on track? We can sometimes find ourselves in an unproductive state, moving in the wrong direction or in a place of despair.  The prophet Jeremiah was in a place of despair and God gave him the steps he needed to take to get him back on track. If we follow those same steps we can get our lives back on track too.
