Bible Verse of The Day – 6-26-21

Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

What does God think about us? Does He think about us the same way that He thought about Jeremiah?

I have heard people say to me when things were going wrong, “God is punishing us” for not doing certain things. They are distraught and scared because they messed up, and now they feel like they are doomed.

It’s true that God will chasten those He loves, so correction will come at times. We should expect this at times.

But God’s correction and chastening is done out of love and compassion.

He knows us well and He knows what will get our attention, to help us head down the right track.

We want you to remember today who our Father is and how He thinks of us even when we are down and out because of foolish moves we may have made.

He knows that it’s our fault most times. He knows we are not going to be perfect.

As we repent and keep trying to beat whatever it is that keeps knocking us back, He is fighting for us.

Exodus 14:14 (NKJV) 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

God does have good thoughts toward you, just like He did toward Jeremiah.

He does have a future and hope for you.

He will be there for you when you call on Him, in the name of His Son, Jesus. And when we go after Him with all our heart, we will find Him and His answers for us!

He loves you very much. He’s not hiding.

He is usually right where we left Him. Amen.
