Jeremiah 29:11 offers consolation to Christians going through challenging times these days. The text’s contents were addressed to those who were going through difficult times and suffering; these individuals probably wanted an instant rescue, similar to the one Hananiah claimed to have provided. However, God’s answer is not to give a quick way out of the sticky circumstance. Instead, God assures them that despite their current circumstances, He has a plan to prosper them.
In this modern world, most of our lives revolve around our careers. As we commence a new year, we are reminded in Colossians 3:23–24 to approach all we do with all of your heart, treating it as though it were for the benefit of the Lord rather than human masters, knowing that the Lord will reward us with an inheritance. You are serving the Lord Christ, after all.
Praying for God’s will in your specific career sector is the first search engine you go to seek guidance through prayer. God’s design and purpose for each of our lives are known to us. This does not imply that we should plan but do nothing for ourselves. Jesus granted us “Free Will” because of this, even though we are aware that He is aware of our future actions.
In the event that you are having difficulties, never forget to pursue a relationship with Jesus on a regular basis, particularly during times of doubt. It’s easy to feel alone and like no one understands when you’re going through the hardest times in life. That’s why it’s critical to tell others about all that Jesus has accomplished in addition to expressing gratitude for His goodness. Encourage someone else when things look the worst possible. God’s promises in Romans 8:28—”All things work together for good for those who love Him”—give us hope during those unsure times.
I am convinced that God will provide for all of our needs in accordance with His glory and riches. God promises that people who seek Him will never be abandoned. He will meet our material, spiritual, and economical needs. This also relates to God’s intention to honour our diligence.
The Apostle Paul tells us how to know that God is reliable when we put our faith in Him to supply what we lack since He frequently gave Paul the strength to persevere. We declare, “My God shall supply all my needs,” because God gives us the grace and fortitude to face each new obstacle on a daily basis.
As a gracious and generous Father, God was prepared to sacrifice His own Son in order to save us. How can we not put our trust in Him to provide for all of our needs?
