“I know what I’m doing,” says the
Lord, “I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you,
plans to give you the future you hope for. When you call on me, when you come
and pray to me, I’ll listen. When you come looking for me,
you’ll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than
anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed. I’ll turn things around
for you. I’ll bring you back from all the countries into which I drove you, and
bring you home to the place from which I sent you off into exile. You can count
on it” (Jeremiah 29:11-14, MSG).
I can count on it. He
knows what He is doing. I don't have to know His plans, but I do need to trust
and have faith in His faithfulness. When I seek Him with all my heart and desire
Him more than anything else, I will discover more faith to believe in His
promise of deliverance. As I persevere in living each day in His will, I shall
receive His promise (Hebrews 10:35-36). He will bring me out of the place where
I have suffered and felt abandoned. He has great Joy for me. I can count on
it.
