Jeremiah 29:1-14. God instructs the people in exile to settle in–build homes and raise families. They are to seek the peace and prosperity of the city of their captivity. It’s all part of God’s plan. Deliverance will come in God’s time.
Psalm 9 This psalm is David’s testimony of how he has seen God work justice in the past. He confidently includes a prayer for God to make things right in his present situation as well. The God of justice will answer.
