TIM
Good morning. I’m Tim Wise, Sanctuary Choir Director at Central.
It’s very easy when thinking about God’s plan for our lives to be selfish and expect personal happiness all the time. Jeremiah’s message is quite different. He’s writing to a group of people who are being held captive and are in exile from their homeland. He’s writing to let them know that although they’re not where they would have expected, God still has a plan for their lives. Even in the midst of a difficult situation, God wants them to know His plans, and they are not just to benefit them personally.
God is letting them know they can move forward, because in the eternal picture, His justice will prevail.
“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope.”
Today, in the midst of difficult situations, God wants us to know He has a plan. He also wants us to know that as we submit to His plan that He desires to use us to bless the world around us.
