Jeremiah 29:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 29:11

9 For they prophesy ^afalsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the Lord.

10 For thus says the Lord: After ^aseventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to ^breturn to this place.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

12 Then you will ^acall upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will ^blisten to you.

13 And ^ayou will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me ^bwith all your heart.

14 ^aI will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; ^bI will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

15 Because you have said, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon”—

Jeremiah 29:10-14

"When you search for Me with all your heart!" There is a condition! Does this tie into Hebrews 11:6 that (says) God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him? That God desires children around Him who really want to be with Him, who are not caught up in the coolness of this age that we live in but have a warmth, a real desire, and an ardor to be with God? God is indicating here that we should seek as if we are finding or looking for something that is a vital necessity to us.
