"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" Jer 29:11
This is a powerful but simple verse. It assures us of God's plan regarding our lives and the fact that He is thinking about us.
The power of the gospel is in its simplicity. Often when we get educated and grow in the Lord we want to go deeper and want big revelations which will shock and excite us. Perhaps that is fine, it's part of growth, however in all of that, always remember: The power of the gospel is so simple that it must be easy to understand and applicable by everyone including those who may be unlearned.
I mean who does not understand the above verse? So simple yet so powerful, so straightforward yet so profound.
Jesus says to Peter 'Feed my lambs' , not my giraffes. In essence, make it simple, relevant and practical
My plea: go deeper if you will, but never allow your depth to rob you and those around you of the simplicity and power of the gospel. SELAH
