[T]hese are the words of … Jeremiah the prophet … unto the … captives,… “seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.” – Jeremiah 29:1, 7
We are not the captives to whom Jeremiah wrote but his message from God is, nevertheless, to us.
Being a good citizen, participating in community life, and working for peace in the neighborhood benefits not just the neighborhood, but us.
Put down roots where God has planted you.
