4/12/20226. The Joy Prescription Podcast - Jeremiah 29:11 - Good Thoughts
Season 1, Ep. 6
Hello, Dear One, Dr. Cynthia Libert here with your weekly Joy Prescription. Today, I’ll be reading Jeremiah 29:11: "'For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope."How are you? Is your mind wrestling with fearful, defeating thoughts? It’s easy to look around at the world and our circumstances and be discouraged.This has always been the case in human history. In fact, when the prophet Jeremiah received these words of encouragement to Israel, they were in captivity.On the outside, their future looked bleak and hopeless, and the promises of God on pause. They may have questioned God’s goodness when they looked around at their undesirable circumstances.God had an answer.He quieted their fears by reminding them that He only had GOOD plans, GOOD thoughts, and GOOD intentions toward them. Friend, the same is true for YOU today! God is full of GOOD thoughts about you and your future. Take His thoughts to heart and be of good courage!May the Peace of Christ be with you.May you be buoyed up with hope in His supernatural power, trusting that He can and will transform your circumstances into good, for your good and for His glory.
