Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
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.
Jeremiah was telling God's people that 70 years after the
devastation, God would deliver and restore them. Despite the fact that they had
repeatedly abandoned God, he would not abandon them or his promises to them. He
would be faithful. In fact, God was planning and preparing a bright future for
them. This promise also reminds us that no matter how deep our own personal
gloom may seem, God does have plans for us. He will keep his promises to us. He
will deliver and bless us. We can have a vibrant hope and a bright future
because of his faithfulness and our trust in his Son, Jesus, who delivers us
from every foe.
Thought for today:
Do I trust God to deliver no matter what my situation looks like?
