One of the most popular verses in the Bible is Jeremiah 29:11. We love to know that there are good things in our future. But how does God define good? Join Dawn and Steve Mornings as they unpack this well-loved verse based on an article called "Does Jeremiah 29:11 Mean That God Won't Let Bad Things Happen to Me?" written by Jolene Underwood. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AUGUST 16: Rescuing the Prophet from the Pit (37:11-38:13) “They pulled him up with the ropes and lifted him out of the cistern.” SUMMARY: Fulfilling God’s call on our life includes setbacks and rejection. Sometimes good leaders are punished for their integrity. Yet because of God’s faithful character, working through his courageous people, he will vindicate his leaders and his message. DISCUSSION: How does this story illustrate the challenges of pursuing God’s call on your life? How do you feel when you face rejection or setback because of your obedience to God? What does this story teach us about God’s character, especially when we face setbacks in pursuit of his call? Does Jeremiah’s experience resonate with you or your current circumstances? How can you pray in these moments of setback? How can you support leaders in your church or your community when they face rejection or misunderstanding in their pursuit of obedience or integrity? PRAYER: Faithful God, look upon your servants who daily who face trial or rejection in their pursuit of your call, even as Christ was despised and rejected that your will might be done; vindicate them, Lord, in your mercy, that they may faithfully proclaim your Word and live according to your commandments, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. PRACTICE: Review your rule of life one more time, carefully thinking through what practices of discipleship and habits of life will best fortify and refresh you in God’s presence, so that you can face the trials and setbacks that come your way with faithfulness and wisdom. http://cityoflightanglican.org/events/jeremiah

It is so Easy to Win | Coach Dave Live | 1-16-2020 Does Jeremiah 1:5 apply to every Christian? Or was it just about Jeremiah.

Continue to explore Jeremiah's call and commission in 1:4-10. Recall in Jeremiah 1:4-5 we find the passivity of the prophet and that the active subject is word of God. The verbs in verse 5 are to form, know (yada), consecrate, and appoint. Prophetic resistance is evoked in verse 6 and divine assurance in verse 7. Recall Jeremiah 1:5-6. Does Jeremiah 1:6 suggest resistance? The Hebrew term used is נער (na‘ar), which means “boy” or “young man”. Does it mean something else? In the call narrative, the objection has three elements. The Introductory Address is “Oh my Lord Adonai!”, the First Motivation is “Look, I do not know how to speak”, and the Second Motivation is “for I am only a נער”. In Jeremiah, Lamentations, Dean O. Wenthe quotes Theodoret of Cyrus,“The prophet recognized the one addressing him. This is why he called him by a title having to do with lordship. When the mighty Moses was once speaking, remember, and wanted to learn the divine name, the Lord said, “I am the one who is.” He imitates Moses' timidity by saying youth is not up to prophesying.” Jeremiah 1:6-7 we read, “Then I said, ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.’ But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am only a youth”; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.’” The traditional reading of the Hebrew term supports age. Consider the imprecision of term נער. Is this text prayer language? Consider the genre of 1: 4-10, the specific contents of the passage, and the entire book’s presentation of the prophetic personality. We see that Jacob in Genesis 32:11 was “too insignificant". We read, “Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children.” We see Moses in Numbers 11:14 was “too heavy for me”. Amos tells us in 7:2, 5 that Jacob “is so small” and Solomon stated in 1 Kings 3:7, “I am (only) a little child”. “And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.”
Theology For the Rest of Us | Quick Answers to the Questions About God and the Bible
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) Several centuries before Jesus showed up on the scence, the propher Jeremiah was preaching to the Jewish people as they faced the judgment and discipline of God, meted out at the hands of the Babylonians. Jeremiah said many things, but there is one verse from his writings that is most commonly quoted within certain modern Christian circles. That verse that is famously quoted is Jeremiah 29:11, often used as a proof-text to demonstrate that God always wants us to prosper. In this episode, Kenny tackles the question head on: Does Jeremiah 29:11 apply to Christian believers today? If so, how does it apply? Kenny makes the point that the verse does indeed point to the fact that, overall, God wants good things for His people... He loves His people... He favors his people... just like any good daddy, God loves showering His children with goodness. He's the greatest daddy there is. However, most people quoting this verse ignore the context of Jeremiah's writing; the fact that the Jewish people were facing a fate that did not seem "good" by their standards. God declares to have good plans for us, but sometimes His plans do not seem good; but that is mostly because our definition of "good" is often skewed. God's greatest desire for His own people is to mold us to be more Godly and to shine His own glory through us. God's good plans for you may include some short-term forms of suffering because that may very well be the thing that enables you to receive the ultimate good plans that God has for you in the long-term and in eternity.
