Digging Another Well

Still His Plan


Listen Later

Scripture:

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” — Jeremiah 29:11

What do you do when life doesn’t look anything like you planned?

In this episode of Digging Another Well, we take a closer look at one of the most quoted verses in Scripture—and the part we often overlook.

Jeremiah 29:11 is frequently used as a reminder of God’s good plan. But the context tells a deeper story. These words were spoken to people living in exile—far from home, in a place they never chose, under circumstances they never wanted.

And it was there, in that place, that God said:

“I know the thoughts that I think toward you…”

Not after things improved.

Not once they got back on track.

But right in the middle of it.

God’s plan does not always unfold in comfortable or expected ways. Sometimes it looks like delay. Sometimes it feels like loss. Sometimes it places us in seasons we would have never chosen for ourselves.

But His purpose has not changed.

If you find yourself in a place you did not expect—if life feels off course or unfamiliar—this devotional is a reminder that God has not lost track of you.

The detour did not cancel His plan.

Your circumstances did not change His intentions.

The expected end is still ahead.

God’s plan is not fragile.

It is not undone by your circumstances.

Even here.

Even now.

It is still His plan.
