I know The Plans I Have For You

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's plans stand firm forever and it will always prosper us and give us peace, hope and a future. The plans of the LORD stand firm forever - Psalm 33:11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope - Jeremiah 29:11. He knows everything about our life from the beginning till the end. 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

               Jesus surrendered His ways to the will of God and so God's plan of salvation to people was established through Him. Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand - Isaiah 53:10. He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done" - Luke 22:41. So, God highly exalted Jesus and gave Him the name above every names as He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death. He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name - Philippians 2:8,9.

               Let us also surrender all our ways to God and trust His plans that give us peace, hope and future. 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. Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans - Proverbs 16:3. 

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares 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 6:8,9.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We surrender all our ways to You. We thank You for Your great plans for us that prosper us and give us peace, hope and future. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
