“For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD.
"They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

The young shepherd boy carefully tended his father’s sheep, while his brothers paraded before the great prophet Samuel. The reason of Samuel’s visit was to anoint or choose the next king of Israel. David’s brothers looked like kings: tall, virile, handsome. Their father beamed too…yet the Lord rejected all seven of them. “Do you have any other boys?” asked Samuel.
“Well—there is David—who’s just watching a few sheep.”
“Bring him to me! I’ll not rest until I have done the Lord’s business.”
Perhaps you know the story of how this little, underestimated brother got the prize and became Israel’s most famous king. God had a plan for David that blew his brothers away.
Not only are you chosen, but you are picked for a purpose. Did you feel hopeful when you read yesterday’s devotion?
“Could it be that the Almighty has plans that will amaze me, my friends, and even my teachers and parents?”
"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world."
Jeremiah 1:5 NLT
“Do you hear me now? Are you ready to put on your boots and follow the passion I have given you?” says the Lord who formed you, chose you, and called you for purpose.
Dear Lord,
Show me the path—Show me the passion—Show me—And
I will put on my boots and follow.”
