For I Know~
not me
but
God
is the one
who said it~
For I Know
the plans I have for you~
the words He told the
exiled Jews in Babylon
who did not know
who did not understand
what was going to happen.
Yet God declared,
For I Know
the plans I have for you
His
plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
For they could not imagine,
as they were in exile
and what they were experiencing
did not look good
did not look hopeful,
But God
declared,
For I Know.
For
He knows
in the midst of every circumstance
For God is with us
For God is for us
Because
His Son came for us
to give us
a hope and an eternal future
with Him.
As my husband and I just returned
from a
Life Celebration
of our friend and neighbor,
who left this earth in a tragic way,
For I Know
are the words that
keep coming into my head~
For God has not left him
For God was with him
For God is with his precious wife
For God is with his children & grandchildren.
For God's promise of
plans for hope and a future
are the words of great comfort
in this time of great loss.
For what we don't know
For what we don't understand~
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
From the Old Testament Revelation to the exiles
To the New Testament Revelation to us~
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In His great mercy He has given us new birth into
a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
who through faith are shielded by God’s power
until the coming of the salvation
that is ready to be revealed in the last time. I Peter 1:3-5
So fix your eyes
on what
God knows
and what
God promises
in the midst of
what we don't know
what we don't understand
&
what we don't see
because
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
