So Judah was taken into exile out of its land.
I am at a time in my life where it feels like exile. I have felt more alone and more afraid than right now. Still the feeling of exile is there.
There are times that God has appointed in our lives to be times of exile. Times where we may be cut off from certain people or when we are around people and still feel dreadfully far away.
During these times search yourself. Find what God is teaching you. You may not know for years what is being taught. God does everything for a purpose. I do not believe in a God that plots and plans around what man will do and changes His mind cause He can't control what is going on.
Trust that God is in control and trust that the situation you are in is exactly where He wants you to be.
"Be acquainted, then, with thine own heart: though it be deep, search it; though it be dark, inquire into it; though it give all its distempers other names than what are their due, believe it not." -John Owen (quote from Dr. Joel Burdine)
