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’s intent…His plan and purpose for each one of us, is to give us hope and a eternal future with Him.  Now the entire Chapter of Job is about a man suffering unspeakable losses, but we surprisingly find this encouraging word in Job 8:7, “Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.”  Right now you may be suffering…out of work, low on money, and depressed about what the future holds.  But realize this, God is aware and understands your situation completely…and His intention for you is only good.  For your future is securely in His hands, and your future is full of hope.

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.”

Sometimes it’s because of serious illness or loss…sometimes it’s the result of circumstances way beyond our control…but regardless, we can find ourselves without hope.  There standing before us is no bright promise for things to come…only the bleak darkness of the here and now.   But God’s intent…His plan and purpose for each one of us, is to give us hope and a future with Him.  For God’s Will is only about doing good…His plans are perfect, His purpose for us, only the very best.  So in place of our hopelessness, God promises joy… and in place of fear, He promises peace.
