11 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.
This is a powerful verse and also really enlightening. Surprisingly, the book of Jeremiah is actually pretty gloomy. Jeremiah’s messages speak of doom as he warns people to turn from their sinful and selfish ways and turn to God. It was a difficult task for him to try to reach the people of Judah, but his messages were confirmed when Jerusalem was destroyed.
Luckily, the easy part is simply turning to God. Keep things nice and easy for yourself and stay away from things that keep you off your path. Got the devil knocking on the door? Let Jesus answer that door and allow him to slam it back in Satan’s face! He has a plan for you and every person has a purpose. Keep your head up and go with the flow. God is in control. Do good and good things will happen!
