Plans to Prosper You

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. — Jeremiah 29:11

God knows the plans He has for me.

He plans to prosper me and not to harm me.

The Lord plans to give me hope and a future.

He has blessed me beyond measure.

Kirk has a green thumb with my friend's orchid.

It looked like it was on its way out just a few months ago.

Now it's blooming.

A beautiful example of God's creation and care for us.

And I am thankful.

We Have a High Priest

Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. — Hebrews 8:1

Jesus is our high priest.

He sits on the right hand of God the Father.

Who reigns in heaven.

The majesty of our Lord.

From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

His kingdom shall have no end.

Always Be Prepared

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. — 1 Peter 3:15

Yesterday I made oatmeal bread.

Of course, it was best warm, but it is very tasty.

I have another recipe to try that includes butternut squash in the recipe.

Now that I have some cooked, I can try that one, too.

God calls us to revere Christ as Lord.

And to be prepared to give the reason for the hope we have in Him.
