Grace for your spirit
For thus says the LORD, 'When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place. 'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:10-11
Most of us think we know what is best for us. We want the best and easiest path, and we want it right away. Often the best for us involves a difficult journey with trials and tribulations. God's people thought their captivity in Babylon was all wrong for them, but God had a plan. Babylon was God's way to help them and get them back on track. Like the whale for Jonah, is was more of a new opportunity than punishment. Let's not fight the chastening of the Lord. He has plans for our welfare too. He wants to give us a future and a hope. Go with Him.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
