‘“For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”
Jeremiah 29:11
Our God knows the future perfectly. Yet, in wisdom and for our mental capacity and overall good, He only reveals what we need to know. Although some people may want a view of the future, God knows that each day has enough trouble of its own. We don’t need to see what lies ahead. Fortunately, we can trust the One who orchestrates all events that are yet to come. Remembering He is in control gives us peace to live well in the present.
I am reminded of this truth when I set up events for our daughter. I know the wonderful plans I have made with her interests in mind, but I cannot reveal them to her too soon or she’ll lose any interest in what she does today. She will try to rush to the future and miss the blessings she could enjoy right now. I know what lies ahead and hope she trusts me to have her best in mind.
If you have seen our mighty God guide your path this far, you can trust His plans for your future good. His loving hand of guidance, discipline, and love is with you. If you have not experienced this peace, trust Him today for your tomorrows.
