Restored

“For I know the plans I have for you” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and places where I banished you” — this is the Lord’s declaration. “I will restore you to the place I deported you from.”Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

This is part of a famous prophesy given by Jeremiah to God’s people who were still in Babylonian captivity. Much of it is preached about, written about and claimed by Christians also. We can do this as much of the bible prophesy, whilst it did apply to one group of people in one time, also came to be relevant to another group in another time.

We all go through exasperating times, some of our making and some our enemies making. However, as we look to the Lord for redemption He never fails us. He is our saviour, strength and reward. His love is always upon us.

Rather than complaining and self-pity we can run to Him, put our faith in Him and watch what He will do. Amen!
