Jeremiah 29:11 - "'For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'"
The Lord's message to us through this familiar verse is He continues to be God and we are not. He may decide to allow us to know His plans for us, on a limited basis. However, the majority of the time we just need to trust Him and know He has a plan for our lives. No matter how things might look, no matter how bleak our circumstances might appear, God is always for us if we continue to submit to Him. As Jesus tells us, all that is required is to come. However, God will tax all heaven if at times we cannot come yet desire to do so. He knows that we are often too weary to come because of the weight of self and must instead call upon Him for rescue.
True joy and peace will only come when we realize His Lordship and relinquish any rule over our lives. May we give ourselves to His plan, for only then is there a sure future in Him.
Your Barefoot Servant
Rick
