For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
The exiles have just been sent to Babylon where they are in exile and told to stay put. God tells them that it is here that they are going to keep their faith strong and prosper.
I went through this passage in my bible study last night. I was sitting there thinking about how for me, we have just moved down south and are still trying to get familiar with the way of life and adjust to being out of our comfort of the city that we have had for several years.
The comforting aspect is that God knew we would move down south and He knew that we would be questioning if this was the right choice. But just as he tells the exiles, He knows the plans He has for us... He knows our future and gives us hope.
