Theme: Recognizing God’s Hand in Your Past Experiences
Life is a journey filled with twists and turns, victories and setbacks, but through it all, God remains constant. He is the Master Planner, weaving together every experience—both joyful and painful—into a greater purpose.
When we reflect on our past, we often see moments where things didn’t go according to our expectations. Yet, in hindsight, we recognize that God’s hand was at work, redirecting us toward something better. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of this truth:
đź“– Scripture:
“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
At times, uncertainty can shake our faith. We may question, “God, why is this happening?” But looking back, we realize that even in the moments of confusion, God was leading us into His perfect plan.
A Personal Reflection
Think of a time when life felt uncertain—perhaps a job loss, a broken relationship, or an unexpected change. In that moment, the future seemed unclear, but as time passed, you saw how God used that season to mold you, teach you, or open new doors.
Maybe He redirected you toward a career that aligned with your calling. Maybe He removed something from your life to bring something greater. Maybe He strengthened your faith through that very hardship.
God’s plan is not always visible in the moment, but trusting Him means believing that He is working behind the scenes for your good.
Prayer
“Lord, thank You for walking with me through every season of my life. Help me to trust in Your purpose for my journey, even when I don’t understand it. Strengthen my faith to rest in Your perfect plan. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
