Jeremiah had the dubious privilege to instruct people that were being taken into exile and captivity.
"...seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare... I know the plans I have for you.... to prosper you...." 29:4-14
Prosperity in exile. Wellness in captivity.... and God's goodness to them spilled out onto their captors....
O Wow.
Lord, Your ways are beyond my ways.
Yes, Blessed be the Lord.
with all that is in me.
Amen.
