Jeremiah 28-30

I married into Jeremiah 29:11. I've read through the Bible several times, and I had read through it a few times already when I learned Jeremiah 29:11 is a "thing" for some people. It didn't become a "thing" for me during those first few readings of mine. It didn't even become a "thing" when I did a study of the Book of Jeremiah. I don't think I had skipped over it, during that study. It simply failed to rise to the level of "thingness" in my experience--not until my wife Jeri, told me Jeremiah 29:11 meant something special to her.

"I'd better go and see what that's all about," I thought to myself, so I did.

Here are a few things I see: God has plans. God has a plan for me. God's plan favors me. It neither harms nor hinders me. Receiving and employing God's plan gives hope and opens up a blessed future.

Now Jeremiah 29:11 is a "thing" for me, too.
