Plans?
How many of us have sat with an elderly person and they’ve
told us not to waste any opportunities? I think there’s something about
recognising that time is short that puts our life choices into perspective and
makes us question those choices. It’s a challenge for us because so many of us are
simply trying to live life in a way that enables us to survive never mind
thrive.
In context today’s verse is about not putting our trust in
the world or any one person because in the end they to will die, whereas God is
eternal and so we should trust him. But as I sat and pondered that particular
verse, I found myself asking myself about the plans I had for my life and what would
happen when I died. So, what about you?
What are the plans you have? Do they match God’s plans for
you? Jeremiah 29 tells us that God knows the plans He has for you, plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. I believe
that God’s plan for us includes thriving, not merely surviving. That may seem
hard to hear and believe but today listen to the advise of the elderly person
(Not me) talking you to take the opportunities that God presents us with.
