A Hope and a Future

Jeremiah 29:11-13

The people exiled from Israel were undergoing the worst kind of turmoil imaginable, and they had just been told it would be decades before they could return to their homeland. In the midst of this, God told them He had plans for them. More than that, He even said He will restore their own faithfulness, that they will seek Him again.

Questions for further thought:
1. Do you think Jeremiah 29:11 applies to you, too?
2. What does it change about your life if God has plans for you?  

Challenge: Very few people in this world know exactly what God created them to do. If you struggle to see God’s plan in your life, maybe it’s time to look at it differently. What are the small right things that you have done in your everyday life? Think about how your faithfulness has helped create a person God can call on when something larger is required.
