It’s nothing new to them. That’s their backstory.
I’m going to give you three practices of a woman in exile, and these three practices are based on a letter found in Jeremiah 29 that the prophet wrote to the exiles.In Jeremiah 29, the Bible says to “Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters …” . In other words, you multiply.
You can increase in authenticity in your relationships. You can learn to increase in the way you love people in your capacity to relate to people. Do you know what that means for you? It means you seek the good in your exile. Now here’s the point. It doesn’t feel well, and it doesn’t feel fair. So we just have to get over that part. But we can seek the welfare.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I’m in exile, I want to become an exile expert. I’m going to Google everything there is to know about my exile. I’m going to watch YouTube videos. I’m going to create a Facebook group for all of my fellow exiles. And not that any of that is bad, but that is not a substitute for pursuing God and pursuing truth in exile because if you do not know the truth, you will not recognize a lie.
Because here’s the thing: there’s a promise of exile, and that’s what Jeremiah 29:11 really is. It is the promise of exile.
