“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. \u00a0They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope”\u00a0 (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT).<\/em><\/p>\n

Just what I needed today, a little dose of comfort. \u00a0Oh, I’ve known the verse for years, it’s nothing new. \u00a0I’ve quoted it to friends and jotted it down in several cards, but today? \u00a0Today it takes on new meaning.<\/p>\n

He knows. \u00a0He has plans for me, good plans. \u00a0He intends for me to prosper and enjoy life.\u00a0 That is a comfort.<\/p>\n

The world is not out to make sure I succeed. \u00a0Friends, as loving as they are, are too busy with life to attend to my needs. \u00a0Even my loved ones, well, their hands are tied when it comes to doing anything regarding the plans for my life.<\/p>\n

But He knows. He knows how the threads of my past weave into a tapestry of today, how my experiences, good and bad, will allow me to testify of His greatness to another.<\/p>\n

He knows the outcome of today. \u00a0My worries do not affect Him, or what He will be doing to prove He is Lord. \u00a0Where I am does not limit His abilities or tie His hands.<\/p>\n

He knows what tomorrow holds. \u00a0Not what I have planned, but what will truly be and what will be best for me.<\/p>\n

He knows. \u00a0That wraps around me like my favorite, well-worn sweatshirt….My God knows.<\/p>\n
