Our Scripture reading today is Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
The LORD's plan for our life consists of peace. It is when we take the controls of our life that things get fearful. His path for our life is not storm free, but He is with us in all storms. He is the prince of peace. I read earlier this morning that His right hand is holding me. When we meditate on this biblical truth, there will be peace in the troubled times.
As born again Christians, we have an expected and promised end. John 14:3, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." 2 Corinthians 5:8, "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
