World English Bible
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says the LORD, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Jeremiah 29:11
Reflection
God spoke these words to people living in exile, far from home, who had to wait seventy years. His plans for good are real even when the waiting is long. Hope is not wishful thinking; it rests on who God is.
Pray with this verse
Lord, thank you for this word. Write it on my heart today and help me to live it. Amen.
