His plan...
i would have to guess that most of us know what jeremiah 29:11 say, but i just write it out here anyways. "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 and hope and a future." no matter how many times i read that verse it is comforting. imagine if we got to make the plans for our lives (i know sometimes i still think i can make them). do you know how bad they would suck! my life would be such a mess because what i think i need/want is not what the Lord says. i am so glad that the Lord is in control and not me. and praise the Lord that even when i say i want to be in control He still doesnt budge, he just calms my heart and lets me know that His plan is perfect. i need to be reminded of that daily. not only is his plan perfect but there is a reason for everything that happens to me, good or bad. sometimes i get so confused or dont know why things happen, and sometimes i dont ever get answers but i just have to trust that His plan is perfect.

I totally agree with you. It almost reminds about our topic on thursday (if we could truly put all our trust in the Lord). I think that it is the events in our lives that determine our true faith in Him. Sometimes, depending on the outcome shows just how much trust we put into Him. And yes, I am also glad that he can decide our fate rather than us because sometimes we tend to react off of anger and nothing good can ever come from that.
Agreed. Very good post, thanks for that. I think that no matter how many times I hear that his plan is perfect it always still encourages me so much. Which is interesting because some people just get angrier the more they hear it.
