Jeremiah 23:3-4
When God sees the need of a flock that needs reorganizing, leadership, or guidance, He will provide it for the lost flock.
Jeremiah 23:18
Seek God for council first
Jeremiah 23:25-26
False prophesy, dreams vs. delusions, take the dreams to God and not people first!

Good news? Better news? Best news?
Matthew 1:14-28
"fulfilled now" - never happened before
Everything broken since Genesis
Waiting for something for a really long time, something we really want
Waiting for a long time for the right person
- easier to give up
- "maybe God won't give this"
Is the thing we're waiting for not what we think it is? Perhaps it's just a longing for relationship with Jesus?
What if we have something better?
- many thoughts of doubt
Doubting God's promises....
If Queen of England walks in, we'll feel like the nation has been drawn near to us.
What am I waiting for?
Job?
Success?
Husband?
Repentance
- sorrow should turn us toward Jesus to get healed
Believe - trust, faith, hope
Repentance and Believe - like a coin

"Blessed" "Lucky"
- receiving something good in unexpected ways
We naturally admire "better" people who "look good"
- pretend to be rich
Jesus invites people who don't look pretty, who has nothing to offer, and feel ashamed
How much do we need God? 10%? 90%? or all?
- "repent" once I'm better....? no....
