“When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. “Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God ’s Decree. “I’ll turn things around for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you”— God ’s Decree—“bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count on it.””
Jeremiah 29:13 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
I suppose one could read a verse such as this one and feel nothing but detachment, given the nature of the prophecy and the intended audience. And yet, notwithstanding the facts, it is possible to read it as if you are the intended reader, and this is God telling you and me that He is there for the finding. Are you looking for him? Do you want him more than anything else? If you do, you are free to claim this promise as well!
