Build
houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit. Take wives and
beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons and give your daughters
to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters—that you may be increased
there, and not diminished.
And
seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive,
and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace. For thus
says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your
diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you
cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not
sent them, says the Lord.
And
you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I
will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your
captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where
I have driven you, says the Lord,
This is part of the Lord asked
Jeremiah to write and bring hope to the captives. That the Lord has plans great
plans for Israel and Judah is evident
but He also warns of false prophets and continues detailing punishment
for false prophecy. Don’t fall into the same trap and believe falsehood. The Lord
says when you call on me and seek me when your whole heart is mine again then I
will fulfil my promise,
Our Father does not want to
share our hearts with falsehood He desire that we would turn to Him
wholeheartedly for that gives Him the opportunity to do for us what He desires
for us.
