"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."
Today in church, our pastor mentioned this verse and it seemed to be so appropriate today. I often wonder if I am doing what God has willed for me. I often dwell on the thought of "am I using my life to glorify the Lord, to do what he has planned for me."
This scripture brings me so much peace! The Lord is going to PROSPER me and not harm me! The plans will give me hope and a future.
Don't get me wrong, I am SO blessed and I do love my life. I have a wonderful family! But there are days where the monotony of motherhood and work start to make me wonder!
So, this scripture was just so appropriate today. I realized that God has me in the season I'm supposed to be in and I will choose to find JOY in that! Especially on the hard days, where it isn't as easy to see the Joy!
I hope when you are having a down day, you will find peace in this verse.
Blessings! Janel
