Perhaps one of the most popular and well-loved verses in Scripture is Jeremiah 29:11. We love to know good things are ahead of us. We need hope that good things are available for us, especially when life seems full of bad things. It’s reassuring to know there is a good plan, especially if it means something better than we know now. To be prosperous, we may believe, is to have an abundance of what feels good or seems good to us. Perhaps plenty of money and vibrant relationships. Typically, we interpret the idea of prosperity to mean a life free of bad and full of good.
