Morning Thought: Even if things are falling to pieces around you, God’s thoughts and plans are good toward you. In Israel’s darkest hour the Lord said, “I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you and not to harm you.” Remember, when you seem to be losing in life, God is still good and wants to work all things for your good. Don’t lose hope. “‘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, NIV).
