I like the way The Message version of this scrioture reads. I believe it nails the spirit of what God was saying. Here it is — “I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.”
Think of the implications of this for marriage. Imagine how you want your marriage to be — what you are hoping for. God has a plan to get you there. That’s good stuff. We need to get in God’s plan, do things His way!
