“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
Although this verse is a favourite for the church, it was written as a part of a letter Jeremiah sent to the people of Israel who had been taken by King Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon. In the letter Jeremiah tells the people to prepare to stay in Babylon for 70 years, to marry and have children and have them marry. God, through Jeremiah also tells the people to pray for the city so that all would go well for them there.
God’s plans for us may be a period of removal, isolation from all we know. However, if that is the case, it is for a period of time only. Restoration is coming! Amen!
