Narrated devotional
A Future Held by God
Scripture
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
KJV · Public domain in the United States · Text provenance: Project Gutenberg eBook #10
Devotional
These words were spoken to people living far from the life they expected. They are not a promise that every plan will unfold on our timetable. They are a reminder that God's thoughts toward His people are not careless or cruel. He sees beyond the part of the story we can presently hold. Your future may look different than you imagined, but it is not unknown to God. Bring Him your hopes for meaningful days, health, relationships, and peace. Then remember that an expected end is ultimately found in His faithful presence, not in a perfectly controlled outcome. The One who has carried you this far is still thinking thoughts of peace toward you.
