“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord! God-tracking is remaining on track with those plans in the 21st century, as we acknowledge the Lord in all our ways.”
Matthew
24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Based
on the scripture, “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,” this
email/blog devotional is designed to help you and me seek and track these plans
of God. Sadly, however, much criticism has been levelled at the use of that
verse in Jeremiah, stating that it was only intended for the Jews at one time
in history and that we cannot personalise it today in the 21st
century. Let’s examine that thought in context.
There
were 3 exiles to Babylon. In 605 B.C. the Babylonians invade Judah and first
wave of exiles was taken (Daniel and his friends were taken among these). In 597
B.C. Jehoachin becomes king of Judah and the Babylonians capture Jerusalem. A second
wave of exiles takes place. Almost 10 years later the Babylonians destroyed
Jerusalem and the Temple. A third wave of Jews was deported to Babylon. It was
at the third wave that Jeremiah wrote these words: “When seventy years are
completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfil to you my promise
and bring you back to this place. 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. Then
you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will
seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Though God’s people
were being judged for their sin, he promised he would restore their fortunes.
Five
hundred and eighty-six years later Jesus the Messiah was born. God loved the world
so much that he sent his son to redeem the world from sin. Whoever believes in
him will know the promise of eternal life by being restored to God out of the
exile of sin. Just as the Jews were taken into slavery because of their sin,
all mankind is in slavery today, because of sin. This is why Jesus came. He is
God’s Way for our spiritual return from exile. Through Christ God restored those
who believe, to his righteousness, just as the Jews were restored to Jerusalem.
God knew the plans he had for his people almost 2,600 years ago – plans for welfare
and not for evil, to give them a future and a hope. And, through Christ, God
knows the plans he has for you today in the 21st century.
God’s
word stands forever. Once a prophetic word is spoken it can never be revoked. Jesus
said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” Again,
in Jeremiah we read: “I am watching over my word to perform it.” That word was
for Judah at that time but, by our personal relationship with an omnipotent,
omnipresent, omniscient and eternal God, it is also for us, today!
I
know the plans I have for you, today, declares the Lord!
God-tracking
is standing on his promise to give you a hope and a future
READ
ALL ABOUT IT
DON’T
GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
By
faith, I stand on the promise of that word and believe my future will be
blessed, just as the Jews were blessed when they were restored to Jerusalem.
“O
God my Lord, thank you for your enduring word. What you said to your chosen
ones thousands of years ago still stands today for those who are chosen, through
Christ. I confess Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I repent of sin and seek
your righteousness in all I do. I acknowledge you, O Lord, in all my ways and
trust you to direct my paths. Therefore, I know you have plans for my life – plans
for welfare and not for evil, to give me a future and a hope. By faith, I stand
on the promise of that word and believe my future will be blessed, just as the
Jews were blessed when they were restored to Jerusalem. Amen!”
