The Future
“Known unto God are all His works” (Acts 15:18).
I recently saw a motto hanging on the wall of a home I was visiting in. It read:
WE DO NOT KNOW
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS,
BUT WE KNOW WHO HOLDS THE FUTURE!
I find this a great comfort. If we knew the future and all that was ahead, even for a day, it would be a burden and a worry that we could not bear. Thankfully, our God has not asked us to bear the future, but to live for Christ in the present. We read: “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” (Matthew 6:34). This simply means that we are to live for Christ today, and leave tomorrow in the hands of the One who knows all about it, and who knows what is best. We are told, “As thy days, so shall thy strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25). Live for Christ today, and leave tomorrow in His loving hands. This will give you real inward peace and courage.
