Lutheran's For Life
Maybe you have heard this phrase before: “Man plans, and God laughs.” According to Google, the phrase comes from a Yiddish proverb. And you know what it means: Our plans are not nearly as good as God’s plans for us—no matter what we think!
Jeremiah was in a hard place as a prophet. He had been telling God’s people to change their wicked ways and follow God, but they had not done so. Babylon had defeated Israel, destroyed Solomon’s temple, and taken many in exile to Babylon. Jeremiah told them that in 70 years, God would come to them to fulfill His promise to bring them back to their land.
“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope’” (Jeremiah 29:11).
