Your future LOOKS uncertanin and FEELs flimsy...even PRECARIOUS (shakey, unstable, insecure, uncertain, wobbly). That is how is should be.
Wow, the future should look uncertain and feel flimsy...because it is the future....
A synonym for future is hope (confident desire, expect, trust, anticipate, wish, look forward to).
What am I placing my hope in?
Is it a job, my purpose, the what ifs....? If that is the case, I will feel wobbly, insecure and unstable. If I am placing my hope in “what is yet to come” according to what my eyes can see, according to the wordly standards, I will continue to crawl through life constantly striving for what I think is best for me.
Placing my hope, my “what is yet to come” in “the WHO has come”, then I can look forward with confidence, anticipation, expectation to an already planned future, which is an eternity with the Lord. Secure in His everlasting arms. I have that place right now...signed, sealed, and delivered...so why do I “choose” to focus on an uncertain future, the future that I am creating in my mind?
The future is anything that happens beyond this current second. This sentence is the future of the last sentence. Did I fear the next second? Do I fear the next sentence I write...or do I rest in the second that I am in right now in “peaceful trust” believing that my future is held in the creator of the universe.
I know how my story ends. I don’t know what is going to happen on the road as I travel to my final destination. So how do I travel down the road, facing my future every second, marked with uncertainity as my eyes are fixed on my “happily ever after” ending?
Trusting the One’s whose hand I am holding and whose hand is holding mine. My days, belong to Him. The “future things are secret things”. The future things belong to the Lord.
“When I try to figure out the future. I am grasping at things that are the Lords. This, like all forms of worry, is an act of rebellion: Doubting My promises to care for you.”
I am to repent when I get myself all tangled up in worry. I am doubting my Lord. I am questioning whether His provisions for my life are enough. After I repent I return to Him...so He can continue to walk me down the path of life He has constructed personally for me.
Awesome God. Awesome Savior. Awesome Provision!
