Meditation is Easy ~ Week 7

CALL ON the ONE with the plans!

Jeremiah 29:12 NIV Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Then? When is then? What is God saying here in Jeremiah 29:12? It begins with the word "then." Then you will call upon me. When is then? Well let's simply back up to Jeremiah 29:11. 11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Then is when you know that God has plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Yes, we have prayed prior to learning Jeremiah 29:11, and we knew that God was listening. But now we have a new understanding of God's plans for us after meditating on this verse. Our "then" is now! It is today my dear! Then I will call upon God. Then, after I understand and know without a doubt that God has plans for me, I will call upon Him. We are entering a new place. God declares to each of us that He knows the plans that He has for us. They are good plans of success, hope and a future. They are not plans of harm. So now we will come to Him and call upon Him knowing this. "Then" is here for us. I love it! My "then" is here. Then I will call upon Him. When I call upon Him now, it will be with greater meaning! It will be expecting more, knowing more and enjoying more.
