What You’ll Learn:
When the Jews were taken into captivity, God spoke through Jeremiah, saying, “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper” This prophecy has applications for today. We may live in an ungodly culture, yet God has called us to pray for our community and seek the good of the land in which we live. When we do, God can work through us to change lives. As Jeremiah 29:11 says, ‘“For I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”
