“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. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look
for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.” Jeremiah 29:11-13 NLT
There
are days as a believer that we wonder what on earth is going on. What is God doing? Why is this happening or that not
happening? Trusting the Lord can be
difficult when faced with reality. The
answer to all this is to make God our reality.
Here in Jeremiah God makes us a promise.
All of God’s promises are guaranteed to be fulfilled in His time. It may not happen when you expect or would
like it to, but He knows exactly when the best time is to bring His promise to
fruition in your life.
The
Lord only has good in store for you. Any
setbacks that come your way were either caused or allowed by your all-knowing
Heavenly Father. He knows just how to
build our faith and it isn’t by letting us have a perfect, pristine life
without any strife. Placing our complete
and total faith in God will lead us to trust Him no matter what. The storms of life will tear at the very
fabric of our lives, but nothing ever escapes the ever-watching eye of the Lord. His hand is quick to save; therefore, there
is absolutely nothing to fear.
It
should comfort us to know that if we take the time to speak to Him and take the time to listen as well, He will
listen to us and guide us into all truth.
If we look for Him as a means of leadership and encouragement for our
life we will find Him. A cursory glance
isn’t enough. We must seek His face. A good place to start is His word. If we seek Him we will find Him; just another
promise from our faithful God. Until
next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
