Jeremiah III
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. (Jeremiah 29:11 ESV)
Good Intentions
Do not confuse our human good intentions with God’s good intentions. Where our intentions, even when seemingly good, are usually tainted with at least SOME selfish motivation, God has plans for US, His people.
Where our follow-up, even when often fairly good, still comes up short, God’s good plans are absolutely sure, and WILL happen.
Where our plans can be sketchy, illogical, unsure, and even dark, God’s plans for His people are grand, beautiful, exciting, and amazing.
He plans for His people’s welfare, for the brightest of futures, and for hope.
He knows those plans. And when we know HIM… we can rest in His plans.
