The scripture is often quoted by Christians especially in places like social media. Sometimes you will even see the scripture saved as the screensaver on a cellular device. It is an essential scripture for anyone who truly believes that God has planned and ordained their lives. We know that when we come into this world our parents have plans for us. Every parent has a dream for his child. We also know that sometimes children don’t follow the dreams of their parents, but they follow their own hearts. The scripture brings great comfort in times when we struggle. It brings us hope in times when there is a “calamity” in our lives. It reminds us that God’s plan is only good. His plan is only too prosper us. His plan is to give us abundant life. We can rest assured that the plan that God has made for us will always be the best plan–a plan that gives us a hopeful future.
And we pray:
Father, I ask that You will help me to remember that You have a plan for my life. That You have my welfare and my best interest in Your heart always. You brought me into this world and You’ve guided in my footsteps every single way, every single day and I thank You for that. I trust that the plans that You have for me include a hopeful future. Amen.
