[image error]

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Jeremiah 29:11 KJV

I love the last phrase of this verse- to give you an expected end. Why do you think it says “an expected end?”

Psalm 61:3 KJV

In our day and age being “sheltered” has a bad connotation. We think of it has someone (usually a child) who has been kept away from whatever it is that people think said child...
