He knows the plans!

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

 He knows the plans! I am sure glad He does, because there have been many times that I have wondered and worried about the plans. There have also been many times that I have planned and thought about what I should do, and how I should react. Then time and time again, I would begin to worry about tomorrow, sometimes even today. How am I going to do this, how am I going to lead my family, how am I going to hold on? I have plans, I have dreams, and I have hope for the future. It was only when I bow my head and pray, that God once again reminds me, “I know that plans I have for you.”

His plans have always been to prosper me. He has put incredible people in my life to lead and guide and direct me, men and women of faith, who are committed to following God. He has provided others to come along side of me, to pray, to help, to give, and to care for me. He has blessed me in many ways, a great family, a wonderful childhood, good health. I would say that He has prospered me way beyond what I deserve. He has not harmed me; in fact there have been times in my life that I have done the harm, but God has been faithful, He knows the plans for me.

He has plans to give me hope, and He knows there are many days that I need hope, encouragement, and contentment. I also hope that He will continue to lead my steps. I hope for tomorrow, I hope for others, my hope is in Him.  He knows the plans!

Plans for my future! He knows the places I will go, and people who will come into my life. He knows the ways He will use me, the lives that I will have a chance to impact. He knows the grandchildren that I will hold. He knows my future, He knows the days ahead of me, and in spite of my lack of faith, He knows the wonderful future I have…He declares, “I know the plans I have for you!”

I am so grateful for how God has used me. In spite of my anxiousness at times, He has remained faithful, and I have grown. I am just so glad He knows the plans.
