Dear Young Christian: “Ye know not what shall be on the morrow” (James 4:14). There are a lot of unknowns and unexpected changes in life. However, there are no unknowns and no unexpected changes when it comes to the Lord. He has no surprises. Thankfully we do not know the future, and we do not know what is around the next bend in the path of faith. If we did it would be a burden we could not carry around. We would always be fretting and worrying about what was next. By the end of this week we may look back and realize that life did not turn out as we had thought or planned, but if we are willing to leave it all to the One who knows what is ahead, and has it all planned out, it will be for the very best. Here is a good verse to keep in mind: “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:5). Remember, our ways are not necessarily the best, but that unexpected happening, allowed of the Lord, will certainly be for blessing and good.
