God’s purpose from all eternity is to prepare a family to indwell the kingdom of God. “’For I know the plans I have for you’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV). God’s plotting for our good. In all the setbacks, he’s ordaining the best for our future. Every event of our day is designed to draw us toward our God and our destiny.

When people junk you in the pit, God can use it for good. When family members sell you out, God will recycle the pain. Falsely accused? Utterly abandoned? You may stumble, but you will not fall. You will get through this! Not because you’re strong, but because God is. Not because you’re big, but because God is. Not because you’re good, but because God is. He has a place prepared for you!
