He Knows

Jer. 29:11-14

 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile."

God knows! What an assurance! Sadly, many times I act like I know God's plans for me better than God does. But I can rest in the fact that His plans are for my good. The problem is that sometimes my feet are so firmly planted in the world that His plans look foreign and harsh. So the key is saturation in the Word and spending time communicating with Him. I can count on the faithfulness of His word. It will always be true and is Truth. If He says His plans for me are for my welfare, then they are. If He says they are for my future and my hope, then they are. What a great God I serve!

Father,
Thank You for knowing me from before the foundation of the world. Build my trust in You so that I can rest in all that You do in my life. Keep me seeking You constantly. Thank You for being my sovereign King.
In Jesus name,
Amen
