Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
So often we may feel overwhelmed by life situations and circumstances. We are bombarded by so many things from all different directions…things that tend to tear us apart. Things that make us feel as failure and worthless. Things that make us lose sight of the fact that God has a plan, a purpose for our lives. It is in the midst of the storms of life that God is shifting us into position that He has for us to do so His plans can unfold.
These words were spoken to the children of Israel who was in bondage, I can only imagine how they must have feeling so defeated and depress, that they have forgotten who they are, whose they are and the God who have taken them out of the land of Egypt. They forget that with God there is no hopeless. For God said I know the plans I have for you to prosper you, to give you peace, the plans I have for you in the end it will surpass your understanding.
As a young girl and even as an adult I could not understand why I was going or have gone through so much pain and abuse. I thought it was just wickedness and it never worth it. But the God told me in Hid words that I that I have been through, it is part of the process for the greater good that He God has instore for me. It is part of His master plan.
God tells us in 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Things might not go the way we have planned them, we may pray to God for something and it seems like forever to come to pass or for God's plan unfold in our life. Sometimes we might feel that He God have forgotten to put us on His plan list, but rest assure that He is doing everything exactly as He desires as long as we walk hand in hand with Him. God's plan for our lives will come to pass just put your trust him and have Faith. Trust the process that He is taking you through.
