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.
These chapters haven't been easy. Its tough to grab something out of these letter and prophesies. I don't completely understand the context of the words being written....but today was different.
This one was pretty easy. This is one of the most popular verses quoted in the Old Testament. I love the positive nature of it. The Old Testament God can be seen as an angry/jealous/judgmental God. This shows his love and his nature that wants us to have a great experience in life.

That was the only verse that struck me as well. Kind of funny that out of a chapter like this with so much that means little to me also contains a verse that is known by so many.
ReplyDeleteIn times of uncertainty, it is comforting to know God of our entire universe has a plan for little me.
