God wants us to develop

SUMMARY: The Book of Jeremiah chapter 29 encourages seeking peace in the city in which one is situated. This is particularly relevant in situations of oppression and exile, where healthy relationships and interactions with others can bear witness to the light of God within us. However, caution is advised against false prophets who distort the truth of God. It is important to seek God's guidance in all aspects of life, and to trust in His sovereignty and plans for us. Despite challenges and difficulties that may lie ahead, we must continue to walk in faith and encourage one another with the knowledge that we belong to the Lord.
The speaker encourages the audience to trust in God, even in uncertain times. He reminds them that all things work for the best for those who love God, and encourages them to reflect God's love and fruit of the Spirit in their daily lives. He ends with a prayer for protection, strength, and courage for the audience, and blesses them in the name of Jesus.

I would like to read some verses from the Book of Jeremiah chapter 29, and the key verse here is verse 7 which says: "Seek peace in the city to which I had you transported, and pray to God for it, because in its peace you will have peace." We have heard this verse in different ways.
Now, I would like to emphasize the context in which this verse is being said, is being shared. Because here the people of Israel are in captivity, they are in captivity in Babylon, that is, they are exiles, they are not in their homeland. And they are in another place where for some reason or another the system that they are living under is an oppressive system. And in the midst of that despair the people on different occasions despaired and did not know what to do and thank God, for His prophets because there were other prophets who wanted to speak messages that were not so directed from God but rather driven by lusts personal, but God in His mercy sent His prophets to speak to His people and on this occasion He was sending Jeremiah.
