Future Plans

1 Min Read

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD,
thoughts of peace and not of evil,to give you a future and a hope.
(Jeremiah 29:11, Holy Bible, New King James)

A new year brings hopes and dreams of a brighter future. Both are encouraging, but it takes plans to accomplish individual goals. Now, day five of 2017, I continue to write my goals in a daily planner. Each morning, I mark my accomplishments for the previous day or rewrite the missed goals.

I’ve left blank lines for the plans God has for my future. I can only record them as gratitudes after they happen.

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to the plans You have for my future. Amen.

What does the future hold?

1 Min Read

“The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23

In a couple of days, this year will come to an end, and we enter a brand new one. As we look back for the past months, we can see where the Lord has been with us, guiding our footsteps, and providing our every need.

We look forward to the New Year with confidence that the Lord is in control. Our world is in turmoil, but peace fills our hearts as we realize this means we are that much closer to the Lord’s return.

We do not know what the future holds, but we know who holds our future, and we have no fear. Trouble and strife may rock our world, but we are safe in those everlasting arms.

Prayer: Thank you, Jesus, for the peace you give us and the hope that one day soon we will see you face to face. Keep us faithful to you in the coming year.

Thinking of You

1 Min Read

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, Holy Bible, New King James Version)

When a friend has problems, I send a greeting card or a note. Choosing the right words and the best card is important. When an illness is terminal, a humorous get –well-soon card may not be the best choice. A bon voyage card may not be appreciated by a friend who is forced to move because of financial circumstances. When God sees us in uncomfortable situations, He knows what to say. He sends His thoughts of peace and hope for the future. When you read His Word, you will welcome His “Thinking of You” card.

Prayer: Dear God, You saw my future before I was born. You have shown compassion to me through words of encouragement, comfort and peace. You have provided answers in Your Word for all my situations and have given me hope for tomorrow. Thank You for thinking of me. Amen

No Fear

1 Min Read

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:” (Revelation 1:1 in the King James Version of the Holy Bible). Human beings are naturally curious about the future. Because of our inability to predict coming events, we tend to look ahead with some fear and trepidation. But the child of God need not fear tomorrow, or dread the last days because God has revealed the mystery of what is to come in the Bible. Future events are not going to happen by chance but are well planned, and in God’s control.

Prayer: Sovereign God, I don’t have to understand everything that is going to take place, but I must love You with all of my heart, and stay ready for Your return. I am comforted by the fact that the One who holds tomorrow also holds my hand. Amen.
