Thoughts of Peace and not of evil

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

The Lord never intended for His people to suffer nor was that His intent from the creation of man. Here the Lord is reminding His people that although things may not be going the way you may like or may have foreseen, I (the Lord) know what I have planned for you, they are not thoughts of evil but of peace that will give you a future and hope.

In times of despair, there seems to be no hope nor a future but it is in those times, to pray God's words and speak His words of hope back to Him and into our lives. It works miracles when you pray God's words.
Let us be reminded that God wants the best for us, He wants us to have peace a prosperous future, and hope. The road to that place isn't always easy but keep your eyes on the destination.

If this has been a blessing to you, share it with someone. May the Lord keep you.
