August 14, Day 226

Today's Reading

And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare." (Jeremiah 29:7 NLT) I am always challenged by that verse. As a kid in a church program for boys, I learned a song which said, "I am a stranger here within a foreign land; my home is far away upon a golden strand..." While here, we are to work together to show the love of God to this broken land. It's what Jesus did.
