Passage: Jeremiah 29:11
"Everything happening in your life, the Bible says for believers, that God works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called to His purpose. God is orchestrating a plan. Moving things right now. God is doing something. He's protecting you. He's making sure things turn out the way He intended them to. I am so grateful for that this morning because if it was up to me, I'd mess it up! That's already been proven. If your salvation was up to you, do you have a prayer? Not really! It was God who brought a sure thing in your life - one in which you end up with Him forever in paradise! I like that!"
"Hope is defined in the Bible as confident expectation. You are confidently expecting that the plan that God has for you is a wonderful plan and it leaves you in a perpetual state of hopefulness despite what is going on in your life, despite what is going on in the world."
