Hope and a Future

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."


This scripture is so often shared with kids graduating from high school or college. But it's true for anyone at any age. God was talking to the Israelites that had been carried off into exile in Babylon. He was reminding them that He still had a plan for them. That after 70 years He would come to them and fulfill His precious promises.

We must remember that God's timetable is not ours. We may feel less youthful or more tied down than ever. But God always has a plan for us. He never puts us on the shelf or finishes with us.

Thank you, LORD, that I can look forward to my future with You!
