“Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age. In the fourth generation, your descendants will come back here.” Genesis 15:13-16. That was God’s plan concerning Abraham descendants – the children of Israel as revealed to him by God when he was yet without a child; when the covenant child - Isaac had not been conceived, when he was still wondering, looking for, and hoping to find the physical the place God had promised him. That was God’s plan before Jacob was born; that was God’s plan before Joseph was sold to slave and taken to Egypt as a slave; that was God’s plan before Jacob and all his descendants went to meet Joseph in Egypt; that was God’s plan before God gave Pharaoh the dream that elevated Joseph from the prison to the throne of leadership in Egypt.

That was God’s plan before the Egyptians started enslaving the children Israel and maltreating them; that was God’s plan before he called Moses and sent to tell Pharaoh his plans for their redemption and freedom; that was God’s plan before the ten plagues in Egypt; that was God’s plan before the night of slaughter of the first of all the male children of the Egyptians while sparing the first born of the children of Israel. That was God plans that despite the afflictions and slavery, they will come with great possession; that was God’s plan before the dividing and the crossing of the Red Sea and that was God plans despite the forty years in the wilderness and all the fighting and wars and hunger and thirst in the wilderness. God had plans to take them out and take them to where they should be. That was God’s plans for their future given to Abraham by God when he had no child. God has plans for you at all times irrespective of the season, your location, your situations, and your plans, and His plans will not fail. He may decide to show them to you or keep them from you, but He definitely had plans for you.

God did not wait until Abraham was in trouble or the children of Israel were in trouble in Egypt before revealing His plans. He had them long before and He was implementing them one at a time. God is not waiting until you are you in trouble before revealing His plans for your life, He has them long before you were born and He is implementing them one at a time and it is true, He will complete all His plans for your life. The salvation of your soul is what keeps Satan at bay and allows the fullness of God to dwell and work in your life and in your case physically and spiritually and Satan and all his afflictions cannot God in any way. God is with you and in you to complete His plans in your life and nothing else. Not your plans, not that of your enemies, not that of Satan, and definitely not that which will hurt you, but the best future in Him.

“I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for.” Jeremiah 29:11. People often think God only has plans for them only when they are in trouble; they often ask for God’s will for their lives when they are at a crossroad in decision making and at a point of a dire need for something, that is no true, God has plans for everyone in every situation, and in every location. He has plans for you when you are rich and when you are poor; when you are healthy and when you are sick; when you are young and when you are old, and He has plans whether you are doing well or not doing so well. These plans are not just developed when we get to the crossroad in your pursuits, they have been there before we get to where we are. Understanding that God has plans in every situation and for all times will teach you how to carry yourself along each time irrespective of the situation. His plans are always good and targeted at bringing you peace, giving you directions, opening closed doors, and leading you to the place and time of safety. For prayers, Click here
