Plans of Prosperity

Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV)

11 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.

*The plan that God has for our lives is filled with protection, prosperity, and growth if we only open our hearts and follow Him. When God is telling us not to do something, be around certain people, or to remove things from our lifestyle it isn't to hurt us or take away "fun." It is to keep us from heartache in the long run. Sure, being a believer will not guarantee you a picture of perfection, but it will definitely save you a lot of heartache and wasted time. Are you going to trust your own plans that can only be based off the here and now, or will you trust God who knows your ordeal now and the things to come? Let go and let God have His way...After all, how far have you gotten without completely surrendering to Him? Now, imagine going further with Him...
