Ultimate Assurance

August 23

If you had the personal assurance of your boss that it was his intention to promote you to the upper echelons of the company if you continued to perform at your current level, would you be encouraged to hope for professional success?

If the love of your life wrapped you in a caring embrace and whispered that you were the only one, that your future together was assured, would you allow this profession of life-long love and commitment to impact your view of the relationship for good?

If God Himself spoke a word to you that promised His intention for you to be of the utmost good, would you allow that promise to supersede any negative experience you may be going through at the moment, any hurtful professional setback, any negative personal experience, any unpredicted financial upset?

Well, He has. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a future and a hope.” When you have placed your life in the hands of the One who controls the universe, you needn’t be shaken by temporary setbacks, for ultimately, His plan for you is glorious.
