Jer 29:10 For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place.
This is part of Prophet Jeremiah’s letter which he sent the the Israelites who had been taken to captivity in Babylon. Jeremiah’s advice to the exiles was remarkable. He urged them to adapt to the new normal; to build houses and dwell in them, to beget sons and daughters….. ( Jer 29:4….). He also urged them to pray for Babylon and it’s peace.
There are two main reasons why this letter was written:
1) So that they would have it easy during the captivity period.
2) To give them hope. That after the ordained period was over , once again Jehovah would visit them, perform His good word towards them and cause them to return to Jerusalem.
This same message is still applicable to us this season. Have you adapted the new normal? ~ Are you keeping the stipulated social distance? Please do.
~ Are you on a Mask? Please do.
~ Are you washing your hands properly? Please do.
Let’s obey the directives of the Ministry of Health. Let’s also obey the directives of the Ministry of the Interior.
(#TogetherWeShallOvercome)
And above all , let us pray without ceasing, with all prayer and supplication and believe that it shall be well with us, our families, believers and our fellow citizens.
When the ordained season is over, our good God will visit us and perform his good word towards us and cause us to return to our much coveted day to day activities.
