February 3, 2014 By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!   TODAY'S SCRIPTURE     "I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says the Lord, "thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."  (Jeremiah 29:11) TODAY'S WORD    , I believe every Christian ought to commit Jeremiah 29:11 to memory: " 'I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says the Lord, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.' " It's interesting to consider the backdrop of that statement. When God said this to His people, the Jews, they were living as captives in Babylon. For them their world had ended, because they thought they had no future. They probably believed God had forgotten about them. So God reassured them of their future by saying, " 'I know the thoughts that I think toward you,' says the Lord, 'thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.' " I wonder if you might think God has forgotten you. Perhaps you are facing difficulties. Take hope in the fact that despite the Jews' condition in Babylon, God still had a plan and a purpose for their lives. Israel was being disciplined for their disobedience. Not because God hated them, but because God loved them. If you feel the Lord might be disciplining you right now, I want you to remember this: God says, " 'As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent' " (Revelation 3:19). So because the Lord loves you, because you are His child, He will do what is necessary in your life to make you the person He wants you to be. The next time you feel God has forgotten you, remember Jeremiah 29:11.   A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY     I pray to you, My Father, be our helper and defender. Rescue those of our number in distress; raise up the fallen; assist the needy; heal the sick; turn back those of your people who stray; feed the hungry; release our captives; revive the weak; encourage those who lose heart. Let all the nations realize that you are the only God, that Jesus Christ is your Child, and that we are your people and the sheep of your pasture. In Jesus Name, Amen. , my your life be full of His blessings.  Pastor Eric & Rita Sign a Friend up to Receive These Daily Devotionals ************* Email:   For Email Marketing you can trust Check Out Our Mission-Based Hotel in Kalispell Montana Pastor Eric & Rita Bahme - PO Box 301471- Portland Oregon 972794 - Ph 503-296-4900 ext. 426
