"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"

Are there any Bible verses about the future? Are there any Bible verses about trust? Are there any Bible verses about hopes or dreams? What does the Bible say about planning ahead? What does the Bible say about trusting God or making plans?

"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"

What does this Bible Verse mean?

This verse makes us aware of the fact that God knows each and everything. God knows our futures and what they entail and it allows us to know that no matter what we may be going through or dealing with right now, God has seen the future and He's telling us that the future is great. Through God, the future is good and in a way we should know that no matter what we're facing right now it will blow over and we will overcome the bad because God has seen the future and has told us that all is well in the future. This verse also tells us that God is in control of our lives and our destiny. It tells us that God is saying that He knows the plans THAT HE HAS FOR US not the plans we think He has, hope He has or want Him to have or even the plans that we have for ourselves. It says that God has plans for us and God knows that His plans are best because He knows that the plans he has will Prosper us and not harm us. They will give us hope and a future.

Sometimes the plans we have for ourselves and the ones God has for us aren't the same. Sometimes we think we're headed down one path and God takes us down another changing our course on our life journey. We need to learn to trust God because His plans are always and will always be ten times better then ours.
