Thinking about the future

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” (Prov. 16:3 ESV)

As you think about the future and the new year coming up, remember that the Lord gave the command in the passage above to commit your work to the Lord, and when you do, He promises that your plans will then be established. 

A future and a hope 

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jer. 28:11 ESV

The purpose of the Lord will stand

“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” (Prov. 19:21 ESV)

Therefore…

“For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ…” (1 Thess. 5:9 ESV)
