Jeremiah 29:11 - AIT - "The God Who Knows the Plan"

Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most loved verses in the Bible, and one of the easiest to flatten. We hear it as a promise that the hard thing is nearly over. But God said it to people who had just been told their exile would last seventy years. In this episode, Pastor Jeff sits with the verse in its own setting — a letter to displaced people, told to build houses, plant gardens, and seek the welfare of the city that took everything from them. The comfort you took from this verse was not misplaced. It was just smaller than what God was actually saying. A quiet, unhurried devotional for anyone living in a delay that has gone on longer than anyone promised. Passage: Jeremiah 29:11
