Long Way Home

Thrive where you are...

Jeremiah 29:4–6 NLT

This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives he has exiled to Babylon from Jerusalem: “Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce. Marry and have children. Then find spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren. Multiply! Do not dwindle away!

Circumstances will NEVER be optimal…We must choose to Thrive where we are, not where we want to be.

Live into the plan, not for the plan.

Jeremiah 29:7 NLT

And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare.”

Exile to us is opportunity to Him.

Jeremiah 29:10 NLT

This is what the Lord says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again.
