21 Days of Fasting, Prayer and Personal Devotion
Day Sixteen – Great Expectations for Your Future
My sweetheart loves to plan events. At the end of the year, during our Christmas and New Year’s Eve services, she spent weeks getting it all together! She was so excited, making the plans and making sure everything was perfect. It was hard to figure out who took more pleasure in the event – the church members or First Lady June. My point is… God also takes great pleasure in planning our futures. He wants everything to be perfect for the people who love and serve him. We need to believe that our futures will be beautiful through Jesus Christ!
Jeremiah 29:11 - “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
In the Bible, God repeatedly shows care and a great love for his people. He knows all of us by name and has a perfect plan – to give us everlasting joy in our lives and future.
Proverbs 16:9 - The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.
God has a plan for you, for your loved ones, for everyone who loves Him. Sometimes, you may go through hard times but be assured that your life and future are in God’s hands.
Here are some scriptures to help you build your future. Please Read: Isaiah 40:31, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, & Matthew 6:31-34
Today, thank the Lord for the abundant life that He has made possible for you. What are some things you are asking God to make possible for your future? Write it down, believe and spend time in prayer.
Expect God to give you a wonderful future!
