Trust His Heart
“I know the plans that 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
Life is full of incredibly difficult circumstances, and in the midst of disappointments and pain, it can be hard to trust that God is good and loving. Thankfully, He promises us that we can trust His heart even when we can’t see His hand. Maybe God hasn’t answered your prayer the way you wanted. Perhaps you’re disappointed that things aren’t going the way you had hoped. There’s no avoiding the fact that our world is a broken place. For many, the tragedies and disappointments cause them to question whether God is truly good. That questioning is only natural. Although Christians believe in an all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful God, we still live in a fallen world. Yet, in the midst of our suffering, God has promised that He has “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” On our most painful days, when we are most tempted to turn from God, that's when His help the most. The sicker the patient, the more urgent the physician. Remember that no matter your circumstances and challenges, Gods wants an abundant, joy-filled, transformed life for you.
