The Promised Feast

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: November 28, 2010

A contemporary look at an ancient prophesy…

"I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the Lord of Hosts.
"I aim to make your feast
not cold chipped beef on toast.

"My plans are good (if given time).
Be patient, don't despair!
The future that I have in mind
is way beyond compare.

"If you'll take time to search for Me,
I promise you will find
my fingerprints and evidence
that prove My heart is kind.

"And while it's true that sorrow
can camp outside your front door,
You need to know it will move on
for what I have in store.

"Do not believe the things some say
that rob your heart of hope.
The summit is well worth the climb
though steep may be its slope.

"What doubters dare to claim as true
will be exposed as lies.
Just cling to what I've promised you
much like a treasured prize."

* poetic reflections based on Jeremiah 29:4-14
