Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version (NIV)
**
"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 wrote to a group of people being held captive. They were ripped from their homes and now live in exile.
He was reminding them that although they’re not where they expected, God has not forgotten them. Today, in the midst of difficult situations, God wants us to know he has a plan and purpose. He also wants us to know that as we submit to His plan, he will use us to bless the people around us.
The key still remains during both good and difficult times!
"You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13 New International Version (NIV)
