There is a famous verse in scripture which Christians often like to quote: “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.” – Jeremiah 29:11 What most people who quote this verse probably don’t know is the context in which it was given.
