His plans

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

God has good plans for us!

Application taken from the Life Application bible:

We're all encouraged by a leader who stirs us to move ahead. Someone who believes we can do the task he has given and who will be with us all the way. God is that kind of leader. He knows the future and His plans for us are good and full of hope. As long as God, who knows the future provides our agenda and goes with us as we fulfill His mission, we can have boundless hope. This does not mean we will be spared pain, suffering and hardship, but that God will see us through to a glorious conclusion.

This is one of my favorite verses of all time. To know that His plans are good, He doesn't want us to suffer, He is a just and loving father who does love His children so very much. And He is hope for the future. Hope that we will have eternal life with our loving father in heaven at His side! Kind of gets me excited, and all warm and fuzzy inside!

I pray that all my loved ones will come to know Christ and His promises for a better future. I pray that I will always understand that God is with me, even in my darkest hour, He is right beside me giving me strength to move on. I continue to pray for my friend Nancy and her children. I pray for me as I am about to start the Daniel fast and I know I will need all the strength I can get to not let me lack of will power do me in.


-Glory be to God
