His Plans, Are Good Plans!
“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.”
“The you will call upon me, and you will come and pray to me, and I will hear and heed you.”
“Then you will seek me, inquire for, and require me [as vital necessity] and find me when you search for me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:11-13 Amplified Bible)
Everywhere that I have gone this week online and those that I have talked to, the above scriptures where brought into the conversation . You think the Lord is trying to tell me something?
Through the night, I have been looking back at the last three years. Seeing where I was to where I am right now in my walk with the Lord.
I remembered the dark nights of the soul, the feeling of loneliness as all was strip from me till there was nothing left but the Lord. I was brought to a place of total dependency upon the Lord.
Over the last three years, even now, I see the Lord’s plans, I understand the vision that He has given me for Hill Country Thoughts and as the above verse states, God’s plans are good plans, not to destroy me but to restore me to His purpose in my life.
To give me hope, vision to see that He is building Hill Country Thoughts, that it is His gift to me and He is allowing me to be a steward of it.
Indeed He has given me hope. To see Him reach out and touch others, to bring healing, of using the Internet to share with others the hope that is within!
To know that when we call upon Him, when we seek Him with our whole being, He says He will hear and He will answer.
That when we knock on the door of His heart, He will open that door and we will begin to hear His heartbeat and learn to know Him, to be brought into an intimate relationship with Him.
In verse 14, the Lord says, I will be found by you and I will release you from captivity and I can honestly say, He has set me free from the bondage of the past and replacing it with hope and allowing me to be a pen in His hand and I hope a source of encouragement to those who blog by or are just surfing the net.
I want you to know my friends, that God’s plans are good plans for you and when you seek Him with your whole heart, He will be found.
His plans are good plans and His plan is to give us Hope!!
Till later,
Paul
