GOD is Thinking about ME?

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." (KJV) This is a familiar Scripture passage, and one that excites our spirits. However, if you read the preceding verses, GOD is still speaking. He admonishes His People, through the Prophet, Jeremiah NOT to be deceived by the false Prophets, who told them through "their" words and dreams, that they would exit the land of their captivity in two years. GOD said "...AFTER seventy years be accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you..."

God would have us understand the TEST, yields a TESTIMONY! Do NOT be in a hurry, as there is much to learn IN the trial. Psalms 23:4 says, "Yea, though I WALK through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,..."  Isaiah 43:2 "When thou WALKest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned,..." God has already THOUGHT it through! He has us IN and ON His Mind! Be encouraged, since you know you're coming out of your struggle, a winner, what's the rush? Praise Him in Advance!
