For I will set My eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will build them up and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.

Jeremiah 24:6 (NIV)

Everything God has planned for you is good, even if you are not seeing all of it right now. It is important for us to believe in God’s goodness. When we go through difficult times, the devil wants us to believe that God doesn’t love us and that He is not good. But hold firm to your faith in the goodness of God.

God is a master builder, and He is building us up and planting us where He wants us. All of God’s plans for us are good, and He intends to give us blessings and favor. Psalm 145:9 (AMP) says, The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works [the entirety of things created].

Many of the tests and trials we encounter are intended to help build our faith. Faith only grows as we use it, just as a muscle does. The more we use it, the stronger it gets. If you are facing a difficulty at this time in your life, keep declaring that the Lord is good and has a good plan for you. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and if God is leading you to do or not to do something, be quick to obey Him. Anything He asks of us is always for our good. Why? Because He is good.

Prayer of the Day: God, even when I don’t see Your plan, I trust Your goodness. Strengthen my faith, help me obey quickly, and remind me that everything You do is for my good, amen.
