Bible Verse
“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.” – Jeremiah 29:11
Meaning
This verse was part of a letter sent by Prophet Jeremiah to the Israelites who were exiled in Babylon. It was a difficult time. They were living far away from their homeland without much hope for the future. Yet, God’s words through Jeremiah brought reassurance and promise of prosperity.
God here is not implying material prosperity but a prosperous journey filled with a relationship with Him and spiritual growth. The Lord assures us that His intention for us is not to harm but to bless. This doesn’t mean we won’t have trials and difficulties, but this reassurance from God means that we can weather every storm knowing that our future is bright with Him.
