Yesterday, I mistakenly gave credit to David for Proverbs 3:5 - 8 when I should have give credit to Solomon.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 13 (NKJV)
"For 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. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart."
God's greatest desire is for us to be in continual conversation with each and everyone of us, He wants to hear the desires of our heart and He wants to share His truth with us, He wants us to rejoice in our future with Him confident in His promise to be with us wherever we go (Joshua 1:9).
Philippians 3:13 & 14 (NKJV)
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
A dear friend of mine often says this, "It is ok to reflect on the past but never, ever take up residence in the past!" God has a purpose and a plan for each of us, and that purpose and plan is revealed to us in the person of Jesus Christ, abide in Him and allow His words to abide in you and the desires of your heart will be yours (John 15:7) and your future will be life and life abundantly (John 10:10).
Abba Father You are our Father and we are our Your beloved children, may we each and every day come boldly before Your throne (Hebrews 4:16) with humble, obedient, and teachable hearts ready to receive Your truth which will guide us through life in a manner pleasing to You (Colosians 1:10) according to Your plan and Your purpose; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
