“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 NIV

Next time you think to say, The universe is working against me or The stars are not lined up for me today, consider that the God of the universe and the stars says otherwise. His plans for you including helping you and showering you with whatever success you may be seeking.

God is not against you but is for you and pausing to remind yourself that maybe just what you need to turn your day around. You may find that it’s the attitude necessary to overlook the ant hills trying to appear worse than they really are.

Let’s remember, to start our day with an eye on God’s plan for us so the remainder of the day unfolds easier and more productive.
