that happen are absolutely certain from all eternity because they are all

Encouragement for MOMS
In this passage we see the Lord’s reassurance to His
people. Yes, they were going to go
through captivity, but God was letting them know that He would hear their
prayers and that He had a great plan for their lives. We all need reassurance at times, don’t we?
Whether we are going through a long term challenge or a short term frustration,
there is tremendous comfort in knowing that God has a bigger plan in mind.
God’s plan is a good one. I’m sure the Israelites were thinking that
seventy years in captivity was not a good plan, but God reassured them that he
would give them a future and a hope. He
planned to restore their fortunes and bring them back to their own land. Dear friend, are you able to trust His plan,
even when it doesn’t seem so great at the time?
He assures us that not only does He have a plan, but it’s a good
one. He also assures us that He will
listen to our prayers and as we seek Him, we will find Him. What a powerful message for us and for our
families!
Powerful God, I praise you that you have a good plan
for my life. Praise you that you are
able to carry out that plan in your time and in your way. I trust your love for me. Thank you for hearing my prayers. Thank you for the way you work, far beyond
what I can see. Help me to continue to
seek your ways all the days of my life.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
“O Lord, help me not to despise
or oppose what I do not understand.”
