Personal Promise (Devo 02/29/12)

Jeremiah 29:11

Scripture:

"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."

Observation:

A well-known verse. This is a letter for the 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, nor where they would have asked God to place them, God has not forgotten them and He still has a plan for their lives. Even in the midst of a very difficult situation, God wants them to know His plans! In the end, God's justice will prevail and everything will even out. What an encouragement! :) The Lord tells them to move forward, all they need to do is trust and believe Him!

Application:

God wants us to know that He has a plan. It is his personal promise to us. He wants us to submit to His plan. Ang sweet lang ni Lord! He may not remove us from the situation that we're going through right now, but surely He will help us because He has a plan for us. Personally, this is the verse that encourages me whenever I am down or worried. I feel secured because I know God is with me. Ang galing no? :) Never lose hope lang. Ginaguarantee naman ni Lord na di Niya tayo pababayaan. There's nothing to worry! God knows what's best for us. We just have to submit to Him. Surrender, trust, believe and have faith in Him!

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for my life. Thank you for choosing to save me and for giving the best for me. I surrender my life completely to You. I trust You. I love you! Amen.
