10 mins a day, closer to God.
In this verse, God affirms the promise that He has a plan for our lives and, regardless of our current circumstances, can work through it to prosper us and give us hope. God still has a plan for all of His children in the future. The plan of redemption of Jesus is intended to give everyone who believes a future filled with hope, not tragedy that will destroy them. Even though we may stray far away from the Lord, He still desires the best for His children. Only by abandoning the destructible securities of this world and relying entirely on Christ will we be freed from this world's slavery. We can have the assurance that whatever we may have to face in this day and age, God's thoughts toward us are only for our good, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give us an expected end.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the blessings and plans You have prepared for me and for all Your children. Help me to see You clearly and to be able to trust Your Word of truth regardless of the circumstances of my life. This is because I know that Your thoughts are always for my good. Father, thank You for all things that work out for the benefit of those who love You and fit into Your purpose. May all people come to trust in Jesus, their Messiah and King. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
