Our scripture for the Daily Devotional today is taken from Jeremiah 29:10-14. Sometimes the only thing keeping us from surrendering is hope. As we look heavenward we endure all that this world has because we are trusting in a promise.
“This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 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. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.[b] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
God promises us that there is a plan!
Sometimes I question the ways of God. I do not understand all that He is doing and looking to achieve. I am tempted to threaten with my 2 cents worth. Perhaps God missed the perspective that I have on the situation.

Why is this happening? It is such a common question that is asked. It seems that no matter how many times I ask, the number is matched by silence.
The promise from our God and Father is that He has a plan. He who holds the universe in the palm of His hands has intimate knowledge of what is going on. We are to seek Him because He loves to be pursued, valued, and cherished.
Let’s Pray
Dear Father,
Thank you Father that Jesus fulfilled Your plan. His death on the cross and resurrection is an important piece in Your complex puzzle and plan. I trust and rest in His works today!
