Trusting the Future to God

"I say this because I know what I am planning for you," says the Lord. "I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you . I will give you hope and a good future. -- Jeremiah 29:11

How bright is your future? Well, if you are a faithful believer, God's plans for you are so bright that you'd better wear shades. But here's an important question: How bright do you believe your future to be? Are you expecting a terrific tomorrow, or a terrible one? The answer you give will have a powerful impact on the way tomorrow turns out.

Do you trust in the ultimate goodness of God's plan for your life? Will you face tomorrow's challenges with optimism and hope? You should. After all, God created you for a very important reason: His reason. And you still have important work to do: His work.

Prayer from the Blogger:
Heavenly Father, thank you for today, and while we still can, we thank you for tomorrow. Thank you for creating us for your reasons and to do your work. Your plan is the best plan for me. Help me to focus on your plan for my life and not mine.
Amen
