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.
Jeremiah 29:11
Life is always sending unexpected surprises, but praise God, nothing takes Him by surprise. He’s the Master Planner. Our family might turn against us, our friends let us down, illness, afflictions, and problems on every side…God still has a plan, for you, and for me.
Joseph is a prime example of life’s surprises. It took 13 years of endurance and character-building for him to fulfill this part of God’s plan. Sold as a slave into Egypt by his own brothers, betrayed and imprisoned, he must have wondered a lot where God was and what He was doing. But finally,Joseph was placed in the highest position in the land, second only to Pharaoh, and commissioned to execute God’s plan for saving his people from famine.
When our situations are difficult to handle and downright impossible to explain, we need to remind ourselves that God said, “I know the plans I have for you.”
God Bless You Abundantly
