I'll show up and take care of you as I promised...I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
God spoke these words to the people who had been exiled to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. Though the original hearers of this message faced a bleak situation—they had lost homes, land, and independence—God looked to their future. He saw beyond their circumstances. He did not plan to abandon them but rather had plans to take care of them and give them peace.
Today your loving Father says to you, "I'll show up and take care of you as I promised...I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for."
Perhaps you are facing a situation and you don't know what to do. God looks beyond your circumstances. He will not abandon you but He will take care of you. He will show up on your behalf right on time. He will give you the future you hope for.
Don't let any circumstance stop you from dreaming and hoping. God will give you the future you hope for.
Suggestions for Prayer: Thank God that He has good plans for you. Thank Him that you can still hope for a future because He will give it to you. Ask God to help you yield to His plan for your life. Pray for the ability to be patient for His perfect timing.
