“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope”. – Jer 29:11
Ok so I said we'd finish up the “thought life” series yesterday but I couldn't resist just one more! This passage in Jeremiah is very well known…and for good cause…It sums up the very reason, the ultimate motivation, the thinking behind God sending us Jesus! His thoughts toward us are good and not evil so that we may have a future and hope. Learn, study and memorise this verse…and hang on to it for dear life! When trouble strikes (and it will – we're living in a fallen world) and your thought life goes crazy with things like: “I'm gonna fail”, “this is the end”, “everything's against me” and “there's no hope for me” remember this verse! God the creator of everything has said “I will give you a future and a hope”; without hanging onto verses like this, there's no anchor for your thinking; nothing to bring your thought life under control. When your thinking starts to spiral remind yourself what God THINKS! Good & not evil. Future and a hope! We love you friends…we so appreciate all your support and encouragement. Have a brilliant day! ?????????
