Plans Full of Hope
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
HE KNOWS THE PLANS
I know the plans — God says it of Himself. The year ahead is unknown to you, but it is not unknown.
A PROMISE IN EXILE
This verse was mailed to exiles in Babylon, not to people on a winning streak. God speaks hope into hard places.
PLANS OF PEACE
Plans for welfare and not for evil: God's intentions toward you are kind. Begin the year trusting His heart, not your fears.
A FUTURE AND A HOPE
Hope here is not a mood; it is a destination God commits to give. He is writing your story toward something, not away from it.
TRUST HIS PACE
The promise came wrapped in seventy years of waiting. Trusting God's plans includes trusting God's pace.
HAND OVER THE YEAR
Act: before breakfast, hand God one worry about this year — write it down, then write over it: 'He knows the plans.'
