A God Of Promises-Spend A Year With Jesus

A God of Promises

For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord,

plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.

Jeremiah 29:11

When we fully accept this famous verse, we both at once and for the future, change our view of God. God undeniably becomes a God of love and promise; no longer a condemning God. This simple assertion states that when we live by God’s will, we are given a future with hope. Surely evil will still exist, but it will only gain momentary victories. Our hope and faith in God ensure a victory that will provide us with a life of hopefulness. No longer will we be troubled in times of stress, but we will instead know calm as we watch the storms of life ebb. With faithful patience, we capture this life of hope.
