Read Jeremiah 24:1–10; 27:1 through 29:32
Standing on top of a rock in the Grand Tetons, Keith rediscovered God. He had grown up in the church and acted like a Christian, but he walked away from truth as a teenager. Looking over the majesty of those mountains, Keith’s heart surged with the knowledge that God existed and was powerful. The exile had returned.
I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart (Jeremiah 24:7).
God promised to return the people of Judah from exile, but it was more a spiritual return than physical return for He wanted all their hearts.
The people of Judah are not the only exiles for which God is concerned. If you have been praying for an unsaved loved one, do not give up hope. Prayers for the lost echo God’s desires. He wishes that all the exiles return to Him, for He wants all their hearts. God directs life circumstances so that each one has the opportunity to see His majesty and return to Him.
PRAYER SUGGESTION:
Use Jeremiah 24:7 during your prayer time, inserting your loved one’s name.
