Jeremiah 29:11

Have you ever suffered an injury and wondered where the Lord was?  Why did He allow me to get hurt?  Could it be in God's plan for me to be injured?  Why me, why now?  Receive some assurance from the Lord in this scripture.

In Jeremiah's book of prophecy, at chapter 29 and verse 11 it says, "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Surely the Lord has plans are not to harm us.  Rather, His plans are for our good.

When we encounter adversity in any form; injury, illness, conflict, strife, bad calls, or any other thing, it's easy to think that the Lord's not looking out for us.  Some even think that He's mad at us about something.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  In this verse He says that His plans are not to harm us.

Let's trust in the Lord's plans.  Let's trust His heart and His undying love to keep us from harm and to enjoy prosperity.
