Its funny how we start the year full of hope then wham! something happens that makes us throw all our hopes, dreams and expectations ot of the window. Sometime we have an experience that makes us forget all the promises contained in the Bible based on the convenant we have with him through Jesus Christ. Somehow, all the things we planned are viewed through the narrow prism of our experience and we shut out all our possibilities.
I would like us to take a step back and consider God's word. Even though in Jer 29 v 11, God was speaking to the nation of Israel after they had been taken captive, those words are still true today as they were all those years ago. Nothing can negate the purpose and plan of God for your life or what God wants to do through, for and by you. Except you decide to remove yourself from God's hands. We need to trust God and hope that the things we are trusting Him for will happen. That is the most important thang. To trust that God cares so deeply for us and that he wants the best for us. Things will happen. But the Bible says that God takes the good, the bad and the ugly and works everything together for our good, because we love him.
Regardless of whatever might have happened or we have heard this year, we should be comforted by one thing. The Bible says God cannot lie. If He's promised something in His word, you can take it to the bank (His of course!) and cash it. It's just January, not the wnd of the world. Just keep on living every day, trusting God and I promise you that God will come through.
