Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God has plans for us to prosper in this lifetime. It says: “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.” Our lives have been planned by God.
These plans existed before we were born. God told Jeremiah: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” In God’s plan, Jeremiah was a prophet even before he was born yet the prophet did not know it.
Who are you in God’s plan? Are you a prophet, social worker, leader or helper? There is a plan for your life and that is a good plan. Why are we then faced with such calamity and troubles in our lives? Why are we experiencing so much harm? If the plan is this good why are our lives so miserable?
I guess these are the questions flooding your mind right now. The answer is simple. Even if we have the plan to get to a particular destination, we still need the right directions. God has the compass to direct our lives on the right course.
But people have moved away from God. They wander in the wilderness of life. Return to God; accept Jesus in your life. Follow His ways of life. Obey His rules and then you will prosper.
God bless you.
