Its Getting Better & Better!

Have you ever had days when you thought that everything just seemed to be going wrong?  And you wondered if it was ever going to get any better?  We all have had those kind of days.  

I was reading in Jeremiah 29 & 30 today.  God was reassuring the people that He was not going to disappoint them and that He would bring them back to the place where they needed to be.  Jeremiah 29:11-134a (MSG) says, “I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.  When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me. I'll make sure you won't be disappointed.”

Reading that reminded me how He has a plan for my life.  And, that when I pray and call out to Him, He will be there to listen.  And, when I seek Him, He will be found.  He will not leave me feeling discontent and hopeless.  That is SO reassuring. 

But as I read on, another verse stuck out to me.  Jeremiah 30:19 (MSG) says, “Thanksgivings will pour out of the windows; laughter will spill through the doors. Things will get better and better. Depression days are over. They'll thrive, they'll flourish. The days of contempt will be over.”  When I have days that I feel things just will not get better, if I could just remember that He will turn things around for me.  Thanksgiving will pour out of the windows of my heart.  Laughter will spill through the doors of my lips.  Things will get better and better with Him on my side.  Depression has no place in my heart & mind.  Those days are over.  I will thrive in Him…I will flourish in Him.  The days of contempt will be over. 

His Word speaks truths.  And it is a light unto my path.  I pray these verse over my life today in JESUS name.  And I will rejoice; for the blessings have been and will be abundant.  How do I know this?  Being a child of God guarantees that I am heir to an inheritance that is almost unfathomable. This inheritance promises joy and peace and so much more.  So, things will get better…I can count on it…in JESUS name.
