Day 32: I Will Listen

“In those days when you pray, I will listen.” 

Jeremiah 29:12

Many of us are familiar with the Scripture found in Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you”, says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and hope.” A lot of us stop here, contented to know that God has a plan and future for our lives. But if we read on, we come to Jeremiah 29:12, “In those days when you pray, I will listen.”

God has a Master plan for our lives. HIS plan is to bless us but we have to communicate with HIM to find out what are HIS plans for our lives and families. Life has many times brought me to a crossroads. When that happens, I remind myself of God’s promise that HE has a plan and a future for me and my family, and I stand on that promise and pray. I ask God to open doors that no one can shut and to shut doors no one can open (Rev 3:7). I ask the LORD to make my crooked places straight (Isaiah 45:2). 

If you are at crossroads in your life, marriage, with your children, or finances, get back to the drawing board to the Master’s plan. Seek HIS face earnestly and you will find him. Ask HIM and HE will tell you some remarkable secrets (Jeremiah 33:3).
