The plans he has for us.

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11
"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."

Observation:
This is often read as a "pick-me-up" or "feel-good" verse, but if you look at it in context, it is addressed to a nation that is headed into 70 years of exile.

God does have a plan for us, that is good, but it usually isn't the easy road.

Application:
When things get tough, trust God, that is molding me into a stronger and better disciple.

Prayer:
I pray that God will do what he needs to do to help me know and trust him more. I recognize that he has a purpose greater that what I can see. It will all be worth it in the end.
