A Sure Thing

“I am watching, and I will certainly carry out all my plans.” [Jer 1:12 NLT]

Don’t you just love that verse?!


I sure do.


It speaks two assuring words to me;

• God is watching.
• God is winning.

God’s plan will be accomplished and He is watching to be sure it does.


This world certainly needs a sure thing. And a sure thing can only be counted on when it’s a God thing.


God is watching to see that His word is fulfilled.


He is
     Watchful
          Faithful
               Ever-Present.


God sent word through Jeremiah, the prophet, when Israel had fallen their farthest and were at their worst.


He didn’t wait for them to straighten up and behave before He extended promise.


As sure as His words to them of coming judgment, and as sure as His promise of restoration, was His watchful presence.


And just as certain His presence is His Plan.


Opposition has not hindered it.

     Darkness has never extinguished it.

          Lack of faith has not stopped it.

               And ordinary, sinful man have not curtailed

                    the purposes of God.


Thought we could all use that good word for today.
