"This is what the Lord all-Powerful... says to all those people I sent away from Jerusalem as captives tobabylon. "build homes and settle in the land. Plant gardens and eat the food they grow, get married and have sons and daughters. Find wives for your sons and let your daughters be married so they also may have sons and daughters. Have many children in Babylon; don't become fewer in number. also do good things for the city where you are living, because if good things happen in the city, good things will happen to you also." v4-7

wow. Another hammer between the eyes. I found this very eye opening about the approach God wants us to take to our lifestyle of "captivity" in this secular world. While He wants us to have a firm mindset and grasp of the fact that He has longstanding plans for us, He wants us to be faithful and holy and good and make the most of life right where we are, captivity and all.
