Many folks who share verses from The written Word of Elohim YHVH, our Father Creator, in my observation, share one verse from Jeremiah chapter 29.
I'd like to share with you, my friends (moms, most of you, yet anyone is Welcome to Read this simple blog), from Jeremiah 29: 11 - 14. Seems to me that * all * portions within Yah's written Word are Significant! Here goes:
v. 11 ~•~
For I ( YHVH, The LORD in KJ English ) know The Thoughts that I think toward you ( Yah's children of Yisrael in captivity, in exile, in Babylon ), says YHVH, thoughts of Shalom ( Peace ), and not of evil ( Strong's Hebrew # 7451 ), to give you an end and an expectation. ( Strong's Hebrew # 8615 & 319 )
v. 12 ~•~
Then shall you Call Upon Me ( Yah ), and you shall Go And Pray to Me, and I will hearken ( pay attention ) to you.
v. 13 ~•~
And you shall Seek Me, and Find Me, * when * you shall Search For Me With All your Heart.
v. 14 ~•~
And I will be Found of ( by ) you, says YHVH: and I will Turn Away your captivity, and I will Gather you from All the nations, and from All the places to which I have driven you, says YHVH; and I will Bring you again into the place from which I caused you to be Carried Away captive.
Can you see Why I prefer to include all these verses * with * verse 11?
YirmeYahu ( Jeremiah ) went through quite a few trials, sufferings and hateful things, including imprisonment, . . . just for Speaking Aloud "words" our Father Creator, YHVH, told him to Speak.
Will you, or your ( grown ) children be Sent Out ( The Biblical "sent-out ones" were called apostles in The Renewed Covenant Scriptures. ) to Speak Aloud, one day, to a ruler, a leader, an administrator, a store manager, a business owner, or a woman in a high position as a teacher, school counselor, psychologist, a physician, a naturopathic doctor, a nurse, a researcher, a college professor, etc.?
If YHVH "sends you out," within your nearby community, to Shine His Light on someone who does not, yet, Know Him for Who He truly is, . . . are you Willing to do it? He is The Enabler! ( in the best positive form of that term )
He "gifted" men to construct a Wilderness Tabernacle as a Meeting Place for all His children, including strangers ( ger, in Hebrew, means stranger, sojourner, who chooses to remain among Yah's people & who obeys His Teachings, The foundational Torah given to us through Moshe / Moses, to write down ),
non-Israelites, including some Egyptians, I'd say,
... to "meet" with Him,
... to "worship" Him in and with,
... and for Him to use to "speak" more Instructions to us, through Aharon and his sons, ... and
for Aharon and Moshe to meet with YHVH at the entrance,
... to Help us, His children grafted in to His family, so we'd benefit from what He Knew ( Knows ) would Bring us Blessings & Help He wanted to Pour on us! Through the many encounters and events Yah arranged for, and wanted to use, in teaching us His Wise Way of Living, He continued to reveal more and more of How He Thinks, and How He wants us to Think! He wanted us "to search for Him with * all * our heart, soul, mind & strength!" Then, if we did that, He knew ( knows ) we would "find" Him! ( in His Son, Yeshua haMashiach! )
Why? The answer, among other answers, can be Found in the verses YirmeYahu ( Jeremiah ) was instructed by Yah to write down.
Shalom
