Knowledge and Understanding

Happy is the man who finds wisdom; and the man who gains understanding. Get wisdom; and get understanding. In reading and studying the Word; we get to know and understand the Father's GRACE. Our Lord desires for us to know Him and He wants to know us.

Thus says the Lord:
That I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight,” says the Lord.

Prosper but beware of false prophets (Jeremiah 29)

 

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.
