June 26th – Jeremiah 29:11
If you’re anything like me, you’re a list maker and a planner. I map out my future, set goals, and imagine how I think life should happen. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that life rarely goes according to my plan. Doors close, unexpected hardships come, and sometimes the path ahead looks nothing like the one I had carefully planned.
Yet while my plans often change, God’s never do. He sees the beginning from the end. He knows every twist, every detour, every disappointment, and every blessing long before we do. Nothing catches Him by surprise.
There have been times when I was disappointed because something I wanted didn’t work out. Looking back now, I can see God’s hand protecting me, redirecting me, and leading me to something far better than I could have imagined. At the time I couldn’t understand it, but now I’m grateful He didn’t answer every prayer the way I wanted.
Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us that God isn’t making up His plan as He goes. He already has one. His plans are filled with hope, purpose, and His perfect love for us. They may not always be easy, and they may not always happen on our timetable, but they are always good because they come from a good Father.
So if life hasn’t turned out the way you expected, don’t lose heart. Trust the One who holds your future. His plan has never failed, and it never will. One day you’ll look back and realize that what felt like a detour was actually God leading you exactly where you needed to be. To trust Him, because His plans are always better than anything we could have hoped for ourselves!
