"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nation and from all the places where I have driven you," declares the Lord, "and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile." Jeremiah 29:11-14 (NASB)God has a plan for us, wherever we may be, in whatever situation we may be. My older daughter reminded me of this the other day. She called last night to tell me she would be losing her job in May but when she and I discussed this possibility a few days ago and I was upset by it, she reminded me that God has a plan for us and if these things came to pass, they were meant to be. (Praise God my children have a personal relationship with Him!)
God does indeed hold us in His hand but He does not guarantee our lives will be problem-free. We can be confident, however, that He is always there for us!
God Bless!
