Jeremiah 27-28, Jeremiah 29: 1-23, 2 Thessalonians 1, Proverbs 5: 1-14
Jeremiah 29: 11 (ESV)
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
In verse 11 from Jeremiah 29, God speaks through the prophet
Jeremiah to tell the Hebrews in exile that he has plans for them even in their long
season of affliction in exile in Babylon. God wanted to let his people know
that his plans were for the welfare of his people and not evil. God wants to
give his people a future and a hope. I love that we have assurance that God is
always thinking of us even in our season of trouble. God has not forgotten us,
even though in a season of trouble it often feels like God has forgotten us and
will punish us even further. Our God is a good God. He has plans for our
welfare so he can give us a future and a hope. God has not forgotten us, but is
always drawing us closer to him in good and bad seasons of our lives.
