God's plan...

✿God's plan for us His children is always good!

★Jeremiah 29:11 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."

✿God's plan is always to build and plant a nation that walks in obedience to Him. But if a nation does in God's sight and and an individual will deliberately choose to walk away from God to follow his/her ways and plans God will reconsider the good He had planned.

★Jeremiah 18: 9 "And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, 10 and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it."

✿ How can God help a person or Nation that chooses to walk away from God's will and plans?

He does warn n waits for the rebellious to return but if one chooses to follow the stubbornness of his own heart, how can God help? 

★Jeremiah 18: 11 “Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, ‘This is what the Lord says: Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actions.’ 12 But they will reply, ‘It’s no use. We will continue with our own plans; we will all follow the stubbornness of our evil hearts.’”

✿Blessed are those who wait on God and those who return from following their own plans.

Blessed are those who wait on God, He will satisfy the one whose hope is in Him.

✿But if an individual gets impatient and  pick up that which glitters 'like' gold in this world, God cannot really help!

Let's not trade the BEST God has for us for something that merely looks good in our eyes....

Sometimes we miss God's Highest and Best by looking at things that are not in God's plan for us.

As far as God's concerned there is only one best...the "high calling of God in Christ Jesus"(Philippians 3:14 KJV)

Be blessed
