Title: Do You Have A Plan for Your Future?
Text:
Jeremiah 29:11 (HCSB)
11 For I know the plans I have for you"—⌊this is⌋ the LORD's declaration—"plans for ⌊your⌋ welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Observation:
This morning I read this verse in a new way, and I saw a new thing that was superior to the thoughts and plans that I had in my heart and mind about my future.
This new outlook came from a new look; it was the upward look to my heavenly Father.
I started meditating on this verse; taking a fresh look at each phrase and each word. I was searching for a word, and looking for the Father to speak into my heart.
The result of my faith in God; the gift of faith that He has planted deep in my heart, I was able to see clearly what my future will be from His point of view.
Every believer in Christ has faith. It is the means by which we became part of the Body of Christ.
Ephesians 2:8 (HCSB)
8 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift—
Would you like a better plan for your life; a plan that is sure, and backed by the promises of God, and His Word? Then why not have a conversation with Him, and ask Him to show You His plan for your future. God is waiting to hear from you.
Jeremiah 29:12 (HCSB)
12 You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Prayer:
Father God, hallowed be Your name. Father, I am so grateful that You are a God who knows and loves Your children.
Father, I'm so thankful that You know the plans that You have for us; plans that are good, and plans that are full of hope, and that have a bright future that are sure to come to pass.
Father, I ask that You would draw all of those who are Your sons and daughters closer to You, and that each one would seek You, so that they can also know the plans that You have for each of them. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
