How far out into your future do you like to plan? Six months, a year, 5 years? How easily do you change your plans when facing a challenge? How do you suppose God plans for what He’d like to accomplish here on planet earth?
Let’s rejoin Jeremiah the Jewish prophet again, about the year 590bc as he is receiving a shocking message from God for the people of Israel,most all of whom were in exile living in many different conquering nations. It’s a message you and I have probably applied to ourselves. You’ll remember Jeremiah was still in Jerusalem, but Ezekiel and more than 10,000 Jewish captives had been marched by King Nebuchadnezzar’s army from Jerusalem to Babylon in 597bc.
