Future and Hope {5 Minute Friday}

I cannot believe that this is the first Five Minute Friday post for June--because I am in denial that it is even June!! Hello? 2017? What are you doing to me?! This week the theme is "Future", and there is nothing more perfect for this, than a favorite scripture and song. So join me as I jot some notes over the next 5 minutes about "Future".

AND GO

Future
There is a song that I sing as a duet with my mom that has the most gorgeous words and it is based on one of my most favorite scriptures in Jeremiah 29:11-13. I encourage you to click on this link and then read the words as you listen to this most inspiring and encouraging song about a future filled with the love of God the Father.

A Future and a Hope by Cindy Berry

Take no thought for tomorrow

Just trust Me for today

I will lead and guide you

As you follow in My way.

Let Me show you unfailing love

just come and take My hand

I will use you for My glory

according to My perfect plan.

I have plans for you

plans for good and not for evil

I have plans for you

to bring you a FUTURE and a hope.

As your Father and Creator

I know your every need.

You will find My love and mercy

as you follow where I lead.

I have blessings in store

greater than you ever could imagine.

I have love for you

More than you could ever comprehend.

As you keep your eyes on Me

You will clearly see

That I have great and glorious plans for you.

When you call upon my name I will listen

You are My child I know your every care

When you seek Me you will find Me

Just lift your voice in prayer.

I have plans for you

Plans for good and not for evil

I have plans for you

To give you a FUTURE and a hope

As your Father and Creator

I know your every need

You will find My love and mercy

As you follow where I lead.

I have blessings in store

Greater than you ever could imagine.

I have love for you

More than you could ever comprehend.

As you keep your eyes on Me

You will clearly see

That I have great and glorious plans

For I hold you in My hand

I have great and glorious plans for you.

I have plans for you.

Thanks be to God our Father that He made a way for us to HAVE a magnificent future through the death and resurrection of His son Christ Jesus. May we walk forward in faith--a complete belief AND trust--in God's purpose for our lives. For He DOES have great and glorious plans for you and me.

AND STOP

This is a double Sabbath weekend for us--Sabbath tomorrow and then Pentecost services on Sunday. It is so wonderful to be able to spend back to back days with our church family.

May you and yours have a most blessed weekend.
