info_outlineIn this episode, we discuss Jeremiah 29:11 and its context as a message of hope and purpose.
We want to trust in God's plans for our lives, just as God said through Jeremiah's message to the Israelites. There is an assurance of God's plans for our welfare and future. There is comfort and hope found in this promise.
You are here and there is an importance of purpose and meaning in your life. Trusting in God's plans to come to fruition in our lives can bring clarity and direction.
Who needs clarity and direction?!
There have been times in my own life where I had to trust that God would reveal the very next step, not even the next year, but the next step. The challenge is in the waiting, but oh how rewarding the patience and perseverance turns out to be!
You want to remain steadfast in faith (I know it's difficult, trust me) while awaiting God's fulfillment of His plans. I hope the closing prayer bring you encouragement as you listen or watch the latest episode.
Let's Talk!
