Jeremiah 29:11-14 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE AND A HOPE. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will END your captivity and RESTORE your fortunes. I will GATHER you out of the nations where I sent you and will BRING you home again to your own land.” [NLT]
This verse responds to a question in all our hearts – “Why am I here?” Our heavenly father’s tells us He has a plan for us that will give each one of us a FUTURE AND A HOPE! We’re not inconsequential or unimportant but rather we are a vital part of God’s plan on this Earth.
God says that he knows the exact plans that He has for us. His plans will produce good and give us a FUTURE AND A HOPE. If we’re experiencing any degree of failure in our lives then this is not a part of the plan that God has for us. We must reconnect with what God has prepared for us and return to it to obtain a FUTURE AND A HOPE.
We are presently living in the days that this verse is speaking about. A day where if we pray, God will listen. If we look for Him wholeheartedly, we will find Him. We can walk in this promise everyday of our lives. This promise from God will produce a FUTURE AND A HOPE.
His promise concludes with four powerful acts…
1. He will END our captivity (from any form of oppression)
2. RESTORE our fortunes (anything lost will be bought back)
3. GATHER us out of nations (rescue us from where we feel foreign or alienated)
4. BRING us home again to our own land (a place of peace and familiarity with our heavenly Father)
Remember today that God’s plan for us is to have a FUTURE AND A HOPE; it is a plan for good!
