Reflection
Jeremiah 29:11 is a powerful reminder that God sees the whole picture even when we can only see the moment we are living in. These words were spoken to people who were experiencing a difficult season of exile, uncertainty, and waiting, which makes the promise even more meaningful. God did not promise that their circumstances would change immediately, but He promised that their circumstances would not be the end of their story.
