The Bible is filled with beautiful promises for us! However, many times scriptures can be taken out of context.
For example, one scripture I so often hear is,
“I have plans to prosper you, to give you a hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
This is a beautiful Bible verse, but Jesus was not talking to you and me in regarding our life on earth.
This verse is found in the Old Testament, and God was referring to the nation of Israel.
See the difference?
