It is a major shakeup.

It is a difficult time for the children of Israel. In fact, they're probably

finding themselves in a moment that they couldn't ever even imagine finding themselves in.

And it's during this time that God has some prophets and some prophets speaking.

And there were several prophets speaking during that time.

And I'm going to look briefly at two of them as we work our way through what I believe

God wants to share with us today.

One of them known as the Weeping Prophet, you know who I'm talking about,

was Jeremiah. You know why he was weeping, he was weeping because the season was crazy.

It was wild. He was the weeping prophet. And I liked Jeremiah. In fact, one of my favorite passages

of scripture, Jeremiah spoke. And I like Jeremiah. In fact, one of my favorite passages of Scripture, Jeremiah spoke.

And it's in Jeremiah 29.11. You all know that, Jeremiah 2911. I love that passage. It says,

for I know the thoughts, I think towards you, right? Thoughts of peace. Let's go there. For I know the

thoughts I think toward you, say of the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

I love that passage. Let me tell you really quickly, four reasons why I love that passage.

First of all, it is a reminder to me that God is thinking about me.

He says, I know the thoughts that I'm thinking towards

you. Wow, God, little on me, you thinking about me with your brilliant, amazing self? Yes, God's

thinking about me. That makes me feel good. The second reason why I love that passage is because not only is he thinking about me, but God is not thinking evil about me.

That's why whenever you have a thought about you that is evil or unproductive or anti you, it ain't him.

Are you tracking with me?

That's why I love it.
