Give You a Future
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go 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.”
— Jeremiah 29:11–13
Peace, Future and Hope
The Lord is thinking about us, which is amazing enough, and His desire is to give us a future filled with hope and peace.
God has a purpose for your life. But how do we find the path He has prepared for us?
Here is the answer:
“But as it is written: ‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.”
1 Cor 2:9–10]
The Spirit Is the Way
Yes! Easier said than done, but how do we walk this out?
How do we know we are on the right path?
Here are some pointers towards a future of peace and hope.
Real peace has a name: Jesus. He lives in us, and He is our hope. Our lives should reflect this and be filled with peace and hope, not chaos or despair.
Pray to Me and I Will Listen
God hears your prayers. When you seek Him with all your heart, He promises that you will find Him.
We are now living under the New Covenant, and our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.
It is like sitting quietly in a church with the Lord—not because He is far away, but because He lives in us by His Spirit.
Talk to Him. You have access to Him 24/7.
The Personal God
Beloved, all that God has prepared for us is found in Him, and He lives in us by the Holy Spirit.
Be led by Him as much as you can, and give no quarter to the flesh.
Make every effort each day to abide in Him. Life is too difficult to live in our own strength. Submission is key.
Don’t miss what the Lord has in store for you in this season. We cannot live according to the flesh and its desires and expect to walk in the fullness of what God has prepared for us.
Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and walk in the wisdom He has freely given you.
Bless the Lord!
Live in hope. Live in peace.
And anything that is continually stealing that peace—deal with it. Cut off what needs to be cut off.
The season is changing, and we need to walk with the Spirit.
Meditate on these Scriptures with joy and thanksgiving, and trust the Lord with your future.
He has not forgotten you.
He has a future for you.
He is your peace.
He is your hope.
“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”
— Psalm 27:13
