His plans for you……
Jeremiah 29:11 New Living Translation (NLT)
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Few words from scripture are more comforting than these in Jeremiah. Some times our lives can get tough and we need the assurances that this passage brings! Let me break it down;
1. The Lord states that He has plans for us. We are not out on some unscripted adventure with nothing for certain! The King of all kings has a plan for you, yes you, not just humanity, not the just the church but YOU!!!!
2. They are plans for your good and they do not contain disaster! Isn’t it incredible that He is looking out for your good, and protecting you from calamity! He is the only one that can protect you and bless you, and He wants to!
3. He has a future planned for you, filled with hope. He knows the future, He know your needs today, and tomorrow and He will meet them!
What is our responsibility in all of this? To accept Him, and believe in Him, and to trust Him. To seek to know His will for our lives, and be obedient to His instructions. To love others as He has loved us.
I love when a plan comes together, especially when it is His plan!!!
Blessings,
the pilgrim

Thank you.
Amazing as always, Poppa. I love you so much! God bless you. 🙂
Very timely post for me today Bill. Thanks for this, it was great to be reminded about His promise! I’m thinking about the Matt Redman song, “Bless the Lord Oh My Soul” (10,000 Reasons) I love you my brother.
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
Just wanted to thank you for this post today. This is my favorite scripture because it constantly makes me remember that I do not have to figure things out on my own. God is in control of every breath and he alone knows what his plan for me is. It is so comforting to know that if we will just trust him and seek him he is will lead us into his plan. Thank you again!
