Bless your city

Jer. 28, 29

Jeremiah instructed the Israelites who were carried away in exile to, “Seek peace and well-being for the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its peace (well-being) you will have peace.” [Jer. 29:7 AMP]

In life we may find ourselves in cities or situations we don’t find comfortable … not of our choosing. We have a choice. We can stomp and complain about it, or begin praying and seeking peace in it. God knows where He wants us to end up, and He’s at work bringing that about. Meanwhile, bless the circumstance you find yourself in. Someday, you will look back and see how it benefited you.
