Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon; (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;) By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying, 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; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 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. 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.

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. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Jeremiah 29:1-11

As we engage life and life engages us, God has already laid out a way to flow in what He has promised, that we would overcome and inherit life and life more abundantly.  The choice is ours, if we choose to see each and every experience, good or bad, as a vehicle toward that which should be as declared by God, we have more than enough to engage fully, knowing that God has a purpose and we have the potential within and in the experience to produce God’s fulfilled promises for our lives.  Do not be afraid or dismayed by the challenge of your life, take on the attitude that God knows and Open Up The Way, go forth and break the gates of your life. Your pathway has been predestined and ordained to win because God Knows The Plans He Has For You and they are not to hurt or harm you but to give you peace, harmony with His will for your life, to provide you with your expected end.  Rejoice and celebrate, no matter what, for your experience is only a vehicle to get you to the place of your abundance, life and life more abundantly!
