God's Purpose in Exile

When we go through times of difficulty, we often question God’s plans, promises, and disposition towards us. It’s easy to wonder what his purpose is for us when we are experiencing trials and suffering. There’s consolation in that when we read Scripture, we see many examples of God’s people going through such times and asking similar questions. I recently preached a sermon at our church on God’s message to the Jews in exile who were contemplating similar questions. In Jeremiah 29, God speaks directly to his suffering children and tells them what his purpose is for them in their trials. No matter what kind of difficulty you experience in your life, this letter is incredibly relevant to us too.
