Promise #11 - January 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.  ~Jeremiah 29:11

​How do you feel when you think about your future? Are you excited about what is to come, or does contemplating the future make you nervous? When the economy is shaky and wars are looming, it's easy to feel anxious about the future. But God says in today's promise that your future is full of hope.

It makes me feel better to know that God has a plan for my future that is full of hope. I don't have to worry about what's coming because my Heavenly Father has a plan for me. And of course, we know that living in the light of God's love forever is the best thing that can happen to us!

May the truth of today's promise bring you peace. You may not know what the future holds, but God does. He loves you like a father and is determined to give you hope for the future. Does this mean that there won't be any problems? Not at all.

But we do know that, as Paul said in Romans 8:28, ". . that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

Prayer

Thank you, Father, for giving me an eternal hope for my future that will never go away. In this moment, there is nothing I need to be afraid of that won't be overshadowed by an eternity of love and safety in Your arms. Please help me keep my eyes on Your goodness today so I don't get too upset by the things that are wrong in the world. I choose to rest in this promise today because I know that Your plans for me are full of hope and a bright future.

I pray in Jesus' name, Amen
