A lot of times, we see the same verses over and over. Everyone who has ever been to Sunday School knows John 3:16, but only a handful of those people know John 3:17. Lately I've seen the verse Jeremiah 29:11 everywhere I look. I must admit it is one of my favorite verses and I even have it posted on my computer for inspiration. Today, I was flipping through the bible I got for Christmas (EEK!) and found myself randomly curious as to what comes after this specific verse. And of course I love the next two verses just as much as the starting verse.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
11: "For I know the plans I have for you" this is the Lord's declaration, "plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12: You will call to Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
13: You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Isn't that an amazing promise? God promises to us that he will listen to you when you pray to Him and you will find Him when you seek Him. It doesn't get better than that. What more could you possibly ask for?
God knows what He is doing. All you have to do is trust and follow Him.
