In Jeremiah 29 we hear of God’s expectation that his people be found at prayer. “Then when you call upon me and come and pray to me, I will hear you.” These words from Jeremiah to the exiles are a reminder to them and to us that God has promised to listen to our prayers to him. This is a powerful and humbling reminder that the God who created us seeks to be in a relationship with us. Our personal contact with God affects the course and nature of our relationship with Him. Have you ever found relationships with little to no communication to be satisfying to you? The same goes for your relationship with God.

Where are you from? That’s often a question during first-time introductions. Where are you from? Where we are from describes not only our starting point in life but it helps to explain a bit about who we are and maybe even why we are the way we are. Our reading from Genesis is our origin story as people of faith. The creation story is the story of where we all really come from. This passage from Genesis gives us some splendid reasons to realize our origins are remarkable.

Chapter 29 from Jeremiah (Jeremiah 29:11-14) is focused on that longing for a home. It’s a letter from 587 BCE written by the prophet to the Israelites who have been taken captive and exiled to the Babylonian Empire after the fall of Jerusalem. They’ve been gone so long they’ve forgotten how to even dream of their home.
