“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

Please don’t think that you are a walking example of Murphy’s Law. Don’t even entertain the thought that you are given to bad luck, that the stars are aligned against you, or that there is a big L on your forehead. Life is a series of successes and failures but we don’t need to constantly reherse the worst case scenario.

God cares about us individually and personally, and He has a plan for each of our tomorrows. He knows us and who we are, what worries us and what gives us happiness. He is the Creator of all creation and Supreme Ruler of the vast universe, and still He has a personalized plan for our life that includes a personal relationship with us that lasts into eternity.

When we find ourselves dismayed about our future, this is the promise we can go to for assurance, because in it we know that God has a plan for our life. The God who works all things out to our good has an eternal plan for us.
