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 -Jer. 29:11.
Sometimes when we're going through some rough times we may wonder does God really exist or if God does exist why am I going through this experience. It may be you're grieving the death of a love one or you lost a job which was a paycheck by paycheck resource for your family and there's nowhere to turn after being turned down for numerous applications. It may be something even worse.
There is a saying, "If you're in a tree with the last banana look down, there may be someone waiting for you to throw down the banana skin after eating the fruit."
God knows what each person is going through. Like the Israelites, when they were feeling hopeless in captivity in Babylon, He sent them a letter through Jeremiah the prophet with the words of 29:11 to encourage them to live their lives to the full as He has a plan for them and would deliver them soon.
God knows you. He knows you better than you know yourself and He thinks good thoughts toward you. He has a victorious plan for you so it doesn't matter what's happening now. Your future is in His hands and it is bright.
Trust God today. Everything will be alright.
Prayer:
God bless my brother/sister today with thoughts of You and Your ablities and plans for them today. May they see that Your love and care for them far outweighs any experience. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Encouragement: Be not dismayed whatever betides, God will take care of you.
