Jeremiah 29:7&11:
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”……” For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Both passages can’t be viewed individualistically. We can love our city! we can pray for our city… we can seek the wholeness of our city, because Christ did not detach and retract from us in disgust, but He ‘became flesh and dwelt among us’.
(For in its shalom you will find your shalom)
