Aaron Mayhew | Uncommon Good: The Foundation | Jeremiah 29:1-14 | In the midst of uncertainty, God told the remnant of his people not to give up celebrating the joys of life: Growing good food to eat, falling in love and getting married, making homes and having children. The exile they were experiencing was going to end, and in the midst of it, God did not want them to lose sight of their future renewal. It is tempting to abstain from the things we consider blessings when we perceive that times are hard, but God says that there is hope in continuing in these celebrations.
