#TuesdayTruth Jeremiah 29:11-13

“ ‘For 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. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.’ ”

Have you ever wondered if there is a plan for your life? I know that I have been through times in my life when I have found myself wondering about the direction my life is taking or the “big picture” for my life. Well, friend, our lives are not on a random course. They are not on an aimless trajectory into the unknown with no purpose. On the contrary, God very specifically states that He has plans for His people, and not only that, but plans about which we should be excited.

There is another truly wonderful thing to note here. God asks only for us to come to Him, to call on His name, and to seek Him with all our hearts. When we truly seek His face, that is when we find Him. A funny thing happens when you begin to seek your Heavenly Father above all else -> You realize that that space inside, that deep longing, that emptiness that you used to feel, is now filled. He is all that you want and all that you need. You have no reason to fear or worry about what is to come.

No matter where you are right this second, no matter where you have been, no matter how far you have strayed (or even run) from the Father, no matter how far gone you think you are, no matter any of that, He has good plans for you. Run to Him. Call out to Him. God has plans for YOU, my friend, and good plans- plans to “prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the plans that you have for our lives. Thank you that your plans are far better than any plans that we could come up with for ourselves. Thank you that we have no reason to fear tomorrow. Thank you for listening when we call out to you, for listening and responding. Thank you that we can seek you and have relationship with you. It’s all that we want.

We love you Father, Amen.
