TODAY’S TOPIC: SEEK THE PEACE OF THE LAND
SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 29: 4-9
4 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.
THE WORD: Peace is not automatic, but has to be sought after consciously and with every effort. However, many people passively want peace, but are not actively seeking after it. Today’s passage instructs the Israelites in Babylon not to despair but to build houses and settle down, plant gardens, marry and have children, and to seek the peace and prosperity of every city they were living in.
Today, many people are displaced due to one crisis or another. The temptation is for them to be indifferent of any peace and development efforts of their host communities. Scripture admonishes us to be involved in every effort towards peace and development of our abodes. Have you been displaced and/or not living in your native land? Seek its peace and flourish there.
REFLECTION
seek the peace of the place of your residence.
PRAYER
Lord that I may contribute to the peace and prosperity of my neighbourhood. Amen.
