I Know The Plans I Have For You

Today we are reading from Jeremiah Chapter 29, verses 4-14. This chapter of Jeremiah is well known for verse 11, “For I know the plans I have for you.” It is one of our favorite bible verses, but often, it is taken out of context and misinterpreted. Basically, God is speaking to His people after they have made a real mess of things. He has allowed punishment to fall on His people and He has given them a long period of correction, an exile of 70 years, before He will let them return home. An extended “time out” if you will, time to reflect and time to rebuild. They are no longer in the promised land. But God has used this season of correction to refine His people, and this punishment is intended to help them change their hearts. He is also giving them practical suggestions for how to grow, and how to overcome during this time.
