Trusting Your TeamSample
Day 13: Memorandum of Agreement
Pray
Lord God, quiet my soul and open my mind and heart to receive your Word. Amen.
Read
Jeremiah 31
Reflect
Jeremiah, one of the great prophets, lived around 620 BC. He warned the people of Jerusalem that unless they turned from idolatry, their city would be destroyed, and the temple would be plundered by the Babylonians. Indeed, the Jews were driven from their land and forcibly taken to Babylonia. They would remain there for 70 years before they would return. Even though the Israelites had turned their backs on God, how does God describe his feelings towards them? Did God ever ignore them? What new agreement does God make with Israel (v.33,34)? How does this promise change my life?
Respond
Thank you, Lord, that in spite of my wanderings, you always welcome me back to you. Thank you for your promises. Help me to stay close to you. Amen.

About this Plan
Everyone is capable of accomplishing great things, but no one can do it alone. Part of great service and leadership is relying on a trustworthy team. In the Old Testament, God used ambassadors in the form of prophets and poets to communicate his instructions and tasks, as well as consequences, incentives, and rewards to all people. This plan will provide a deeper understanding into God’s character and leadership qualities.
