I Know The Plans I Have For You, Plans To ...


I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU, PLANS TO Proper You And Not To Harm You, Plans To Give You Hope And A Future.  This promise provides a feast of encouragement - offering you prosperity, hope and a blessed future.  Because the world is so fractured and full of pain, people tend to think dark thoughts and feel hopeless about the future.  Unless you stay alert, you are vulnerable to such thoughts and feelings too.  This makes you easy prey for your adversary, the devil, who prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.  I gave My body on the cross to provide eternal nourishment for you, but the evil one wants to devour you!  The contrast is crystal clear and the stakes are immeasurably high.

Mankind has a voracious appetite for finding out what the future will bring.  Astrologers and fortune-tellers capitalize on this lust to peer into secret things - things that belong to Me.  However, to feast on Me you must live in the present moment.  This is where you can encounter Me and enjoy My Presence.  As you come to the table of My delights, be sure to bring your fork of trust and your spoon of thankfulness.  Take plenty of time enjoying Me, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
