Jeremiah 29-11
"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."
—Jeremiah 29:11
Thoughts on the Verse
When Israel lay devastated in the face of a ruthless enemy that would rob all the glory and strip bare the very soul of God's people, God issues his promise. While the destruction visited upon them was in response to their rebellion and sin, God's punishment wasn't punitive alone, but redemptive. In their destruction, God promised prosperity, hope, and a future.
Prayer
In my struggles, O Lord, help me find your grace but in the redemption and change of my heart and my habits to your glory. By your grace and in the name of my Savior Jesus I pray. Amen.
—Jeremiah 29:11
