Jeremiah 29:20
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:”
דָּבָר
In Hebrew, dabar is not just a word spoken — it is a word that accomplishes something. God's dabar does not return empty. The psalmist says this word is a lamp to his feet — not a floodlight revealing everything ahead, but enough light for the next step. That is faith.
