Jeremiah 29
As the Lord was about to release Judah from the hands of Babylonia, he gave Jeremiah the following message to take to Judah.
We are to be punished for our sins. But this is discipline from love. The Lord is just and righteous and He knows what is best for us. He also sustains us through difficult times as He does here.
My Prayer: Lord, I know You are a great God and Your discipline for me as the same as that for a child....it is intended to train me and is done out of love. I do sin and I thank You that You love me anyway. But I pray that You forgive me and sustain me Lord and help me be the servant You intend me to be.
As the Lord was about to release Judah from the hands of Babylonia, he gave Jeremiah the following message to take to Judah.
10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.” v10-13
