Today’s Thought “No Promise for Tomorrow” G. Ward

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

Many that heard this prophecy would die before this exile allowed return unto home. This prophecy is perhaps the most de-contextualized for our modernity; furthering false guarantee of perceived deliverance from self-imposed circumstance. Our claimants of control over destiny are antithetical to mankind’s earthly status. Holy God is omniscient, man is full of himself; striving to be his own god (Isa.55:8-9). Moreover, his plans are often violated by calamity and/or indecision (translating empty pursuits). Writings and chants of your control of anything, promotes incessant, repetitive rhetoric disguised as encouragement, furthering misinformation concerning the Beholder of every moment (cf. Mt.10:28). Here’s the fact, Holy God really loves you, desiring the best for every step in the Life HE provided. Trust HIM…

Happy Wednesday!
