Cooperating With God's Plans - Wesleyan (Jeremiah 29:11)

Source: Wesleyan interpretation80 words

God had plans for the exiles, but notice: He called them to participate. Build houses. Plant gardens. Marry. Pray. Seek peace. The future wasn't passively received but actively pursued in cooperation with God. Jeremiah 29:11 is promise AND invitation. God's good plans include our responsive action. Wesley emphasized: grace precedes but also enables human response. God's hope and future for you is real—and your choices participate in bringing it about. What is God calling you to BUILD in your exile?
