Jeremiah 29:11
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.
In truth however, this is as untimely and inappropriate as the comment, I am replying to with a like minded Bible verse.
In truth we are now living in a moment in time, that calls for all them called of God to be heading His voice with perfect clarity and listening moment by moment in truth and not just in blind faith as our lives were once held in His perfect will always growing and learning with the ebbs and flow of His voices changes from day to day!
If you truly have a hart after God, than I suggest you hear the word I bring here and now in full and not just the first verses?
A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and of thick mists and darkness, like the morning dawn spread upon the mountains; so there comes a [heathen, hostile] people numerous and mighty, the like of which has never been before and shall not be again even to the years of many generations. A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and none has escaped [the ravages of the devouring hordes]. Before them the peoples are in anguish; all faces become pale.
The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining. The Lord utters His voice before His army, for His host is very great, and [they are] strong and powerful who execute [God's] word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can endure it?

If there be one among you who does not agree with the hour, speak now and do stand by one another speaking words of encouragement, but I assure you that the majority of our world now and today is suffering, not knowing where they will find refuge or food in the coming days, let alone in the months to come. The US news is blocked out what really happening in the a great portion of the earth right now, that has been occurring now for several months. Yes and Amen Praise God for the bounty you may own today, but as well be mindful of the suffering of others as well. Do take the time to consider them who have less than yourself and them who have known real losses this year as many of them are stiil without homes, safe drinking water and suffering from exposure to disease, pestilence's too numerable to note here and more deaths than have been record since the second world war.
If I may add a bit more reading for us to share with one another for the benefit of all peoples today? If I won one thing in my life that has worth eternal it's the Living Word of God!!
Share this with me if you will?

Psalm 24
The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Psalm 1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; & in his law doth he meditate day & night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored.
Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil when His conditions are met.

This is the promise of the watchman! Our hope of salvation before knowing wrath!!
1 Thessalonians 5
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesying. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Thank you for permitting me to share with you, that which troubles my heart more than anything else today? It is important that we not live under a sheltered covering the causes our lights (not to) shine brightly in remiss, not acknowledging the day and the hour that we truly live in, now and today.
Forgive me? I send these to you, as I receive daily updates for this page, that do in fact share hope of salvation, but truly we must be mindful of the hour and the changes that are in fact occurring about our world today and be as Christ has purchased our lives to be always; and forevermore. I do so look forward to meeting all or you, one day very soon, when we will finally be free, living at His side, together, forever; living with no more tears, fears and no more sorrow!! Selah!!
God bless you one and all,
