Many people have and continue to claim Jeremiah 29:11 over their lives. It's likely they don't know what they are asking for. The plans God had for His people included 70 years of exile and enslavement and 40 years of wandering in the desert. He delivered on His word to give His people what He promised but these plans didn't go like we would think. Listen carefully to the Word of God and the message preached here. The adversity, struggle and trials God lead His people through was preparing them for what He had for them. Press in deep and ask yourself, "How can I develop character while I endure through this?"
