I know the plans I have for you. Jeremiah 29:11
Nothing shocks God or catches Him off guard. He didn't panic when Adam sinned in the Garden. He didn't freak out when the world grew so sinful that He had to send a flood to cleanse and start it over again. Sodomand Gomorrah didn't make Him gasp. When Jonah ended up inside the whale God wasn't thrown. That's because God always has a plan. And He's got one for your life too. It's detailed, timely, well-oiled, perfectly orchestrated, and when you fully grasp it you'll be thrilled! The Bible says He has "plans to prosper...and not to harm you...to give you hope and a future." But sometimes it's hard to see God's hand at work,especially when trouble's knocking on your door in the form of a diagnosis you dreaded, a runaway child, a partner who wants out of the marriage, or a financial set back you're not sure you'll survive.
When the crisis you're facing makes you want to throw in the towel, remember this: our problems become God's opportunities. He loves to transform our most costly mistakes into priceless gems of wisdom, our bruised and bleeding places into greater strength, and our deepest fears into unshakeable faith - once we start seeing them as part of His master plan! Today God wants to bring His purposes to pass in your life in ways that will astonish you. So stay in step with Him, keep trusting, and refuse to give place to discouragement no matter what - okay?
