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." Jeremiah 29:11

I absolutely love this verse. What God says is very true. He knows every plan for all of us, what we will do and where we will go. Sometimes I can a little nervous wondering what plan God has for me. Is He going to do something I never wanted to do, or where I didn't want to go? But then I remember those soft words being spoken to my heart, "Trust me," God says. He is telling me to trust Him in every step He wants me to take. And when we trust God with all of our hearts, the plans God has for us will help us thrive, not harm us. Plans to give us a hope and a future. Isn't that wonderful? I think we can all feel better knowing God has marvelous plans for our lives. 

Today, let's all ask God for Him to reveal His plans in our lives. He will, if we ask. We just have to be willing to obey God's plans and to listen to Him. 

Have a wonderful day!!

Psalm 138:8a

"The Lord will fulfill his purpose in me." Psalm 138:8a

Has anyone ever thought why on earth am I here for? I guess I haven't really thought about it until I started reading the book by Rick Warren called The Purpose Driven Life. I then came across this verse. I asked God what is my purpose? When are you going to fulfill your purpose in me? He then says, "Trust me and wait on my timing."

If anyone is struggling today wondering what your purpose is, ask God, He will reveal your purpose....in His time. While you wait, though, just keep seeking God with all your heart and follow his directions.


Verses to remember:

"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes." Romans 1:16

"Now then, stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before you eyes!" 1 Samuel 12:16

"Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple." Job 5:2

"The righteous will live by faith." Galatians 3:11


Have a wonderful day!!
