Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
This verse is very frequently quoted. It’s a very encouraging word from God!
Today we want to focus on one little word that gives us very big encouragement; Hope.
God says in this verse that He has plans for each one of us. Wrapping it up, He says His plans are to give us hope.
Hope is something that we all need. Without it, our lives can seem pretty meaningless. Without hope, we have nothing to look forward to, nothing to live for. And if we are going to have hope, the best kind of hope that we can have is hope from God.
Hope in anything less than God is hope that can be very fragile. But if we hope in God, we are on a firm foundation, trusting in the very One who spoke the worlds into existence.
We are all unique, and our situations are also unique. So, our hopes can vary greatly from one person to another. But it’s safe to say that, no matter who we are, if our hope is based on and rooted in God, they are hopes that aren’t just wishful thinking.
So, if you are feeling down, look up today. If you’re feeling hopeless, let God give you the best kind of hope that can be found; His hope.
He will never, ever disappoint us if we place our hope in Him.
