Plans To Give Us Hope And A Future

 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.

               God knows the plans He have for us and every need of us. His plans will not harm us but prospers us and gives us hope and a future. Joseph did not see his situations but instead trusted the plans of God. God's plans in his life prospered him and gave him hope and a future. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt” - Genesis 41:41. But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive - Genesis 50:20. 

               We may just see the current situation and think and plan according to it. But only God knows all things about our life from the beginning to end with great plans for us. Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ - Isaiah 46:10. His ways and thoughts are always higher than our ways and thoughts. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts - Isaiah 55:8,9.

                 Let us commit to the Lord and trust His great plans that will prosper us and gives us hope and a future. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans - Proverbs 16:3.  No one knows what God had prepared and planned for us. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths - Proverbs 3:5-6. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass - Psalm 37:5.  No eye has seen, nor ear heard, Nor the heart of man imagined, What God has prepared for those who love him - 1 Corinthians 2:9.          

                                                                     

                                                                                                           

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We trust all Your great plans for us that will prosper us and give us hope and a future. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
