Dear Young Christian:
Where will this week take you? For many of us it will be the usual daily routine of life. Home, school, work, up in the morning, to bed at night, and as Solomon put it, “The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down” (Ecclesiastes 1:5).
Whatever this week brings, remember, the Lord wants us to follow Him and rejoice in His love no matter what happens. We don’t know what is ahead, even five minutes from now, but we do know that, “there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). He knows all about this week, and He tells us, “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). Very simply put, we are encouraged to live for Christ at this moment, and leave the future in His hands. There may be many unexpected things that happen this week, but you will be able to look back and see the wisdom and love of the Lord in every circumstance.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
