God bless!

Hope is something that we need  in order to stimulate an optimistic mindset towards life. With hope we create goals ( short and long- terms). Some of us may create visual dream boards in our homes/jobs and others  may just have a mental picture of the plans and expectations for the future.  One of the verses in scripture that encourages us to look forward to our   future is Jeremiah 29:11;

"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". The key word in this scripture is "I" (God). Although, "We “have made plans for our future, does this mean that we should negate God's plans for us because, they don't coincide with our " dream- boards" or  the plans that we have already set? God does want to give us the desires of our heart ( at his time), however ,God is a God of love and protection and he knows what is best for us. Would you lose hope in your walk with God or be discourage if he does not full-fill the plans that "You" have placed in your "dream-board"? If God takes your plans and redirects them, would you continue believing in him? Don't lose your faith in God, and hope for the future. His plans are greater than yours!!! Who's plans are you being led by?

Many plans are in a man's mind, but it is the Lord's purpose for him that will stand.  (Proverbs 19:21 AMP)
