1. When you seek me with all your heart (1-14)
Jeremiah wrote a letter to the exiles in Babylon. He told them two things: First, settle down in Babylon, marry, have many children, increase in number; do not decrease. Be a blessing to the city of your exile. Second, after 70 years, God's time would come. He would bring them home when they sought the Lord with all their hearts. God had a purpose and a plan for his people; their exile was a time of his discipline.
2. Don't listen to false prophets (15-32)
Jeremiah's words sounded like treason, and there were some prophets who opposed him. They had urged resistance to Babylon, and now they urged the exiles to be rebellious during their exile. Jeremiah told the exiles that God would punish these false prophets, for they were preaching rebellion against God. God's people must listen to God's word and not to words that stir up rebellion.
Application: Lord, help me to seek you with all my heart, and trust you, not others or myself.
One Word: Seek God with all your heart
