For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 29:11
Above verse is from a letter written by Jeremiah to all the surviving elders, priests, prophets and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
When GOD allows us to captive to any situation, person or trials, He has the perfect plan for us. Why we were allowed, start time, duration, end time, what do we need to do, how and when he will deliver us from captive. GOD will purify his children like how smelter purifies gold so that we can be an acceptable offering in righteousness.
If you are a child of GOD, you are in the plan of GOD. When you call upon and pray to him, He will hear you. If you seek him with all your heart, He will be found to you. He will restore you.
Lord! I love you. I trust you for you have greater plans for me. Help me, to be always in your plan not to get away with my own understanding. You lead me according to your plan and multiply me for your glory. In Jesus name. Amen!
