“”For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah 29:10-13 ESV

All,

This stands out because the Lord says, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11 is pretty well known. But how about 29:13? God wants ALL of our heart for our own good. This also comes when the Israelites are in captivity in Babylon for 70 years. They have a choice to be discouraged about their situation or be encouraged that God has a plan and it comes with seeking Him with our whole heart. Please pray that we and our friends seek God with our WHOLE heart right now. Please pray for Uncle Charles and family tonight at the visitation for Aunt Merle. I think Aunt Merle is telling Billy Graham to comb his hair right now.
