Centered on What?

 February 2, 2026

JEREMIAH 24:7


“I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart.”


We were created for a relationship with our Creator, to know Him and be known by Him. This truth shapes who we are and how we live, influencing our thoughts, feelings, and actions. It’s the foundation for every part of our lives.

I think we can all admit that at some point, we’ve placed the wrong things at the center of our lives. I know I have. When my focus has been on self-centered pursuits, like chasing success, seeking others’ approval, or tying my identity to my work, I’ve ended up with nothing but disappointment, burnout, and unmet desires. Definitely not the best results. Certainly not what I hoped for.

God says to each of us in the Bible that there is another way. God says that we can stop this self-centered pursuit and start enjoying life centered on intimacy with our Creator. Jeremiah 24:7 says, “I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart.” I believe, we were created to live out of the powerful knowledge that God is real, knowable, loves us, and is closer to us than we think.

What  WE need to be reminded of today, is that

We were made to live with the knowledge of God’s love in every life moment,

We were made to taste and see that our God is good.

We were made to live in communion with our Creator, that every moment would be filled with the abundance of his presence.

We were made to know that God has life for us. God has abundant love for us. God desires the best for us. 

Today, let’s focus our lives on our relationship with our Creator, grounding ourselves in His constant love and faithfulness. I truly believe that when we take this step, our lives will be forever transformed as we fix our eyes on the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).

Let's Pray

God, give us a heart that knows You, trusts You, and delights in You. Let Your Spirit shape our thoughts, our desires, and our steps. Help us live today rooted in Your faithfulness, grounded in Your goodness, and centered on relationship with You.

As we set our eyes on Jesus, fill us with the life You’ve always wanted for us. We offer You our whole hearts.

Amen.
