Jeremiah 29:11, ’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.’
This evening, while locking the door of my house to go out, my dog took a food wrapper, thinking it was food. There was no food inside the wrapper.
We would be giving him a delicious. He wouldn’t have to eat a piece of plastic, it wasnt edible.
Seeing him chewing on the wrapper reminded me of myself. Oftentimes I am like this too. God, my Heavenly Father has great plans for me and yet I am stubborn, holding on to something flimsy and refusing to let go and trust in His plan. God is sovereign & almighty. His thoughts and plans for me are the best. They are for my good.
Just as I would not give my dog a wrapper to eat but I would give him a delicious meal I know he would enjoy because I love him, God has the best plans for me too because He loves me. I just have to let go of the ‘wrapper’ and trust in Him.
Enjoy the meal, not a plastic wrapper.
