Hope For The Future
An optimist will see the future as opportunities, challenges and victories. A pessimist will see sickness, death, valleys and loneliness.
If we could control the future with shrewd life-blueprints, we wouldn't need God. But we do need God. Though we must make plans, include God in them. We need to come to the place where Jesus said, "Not my will, but thine be done (Luke 22:42).
With this in mind, we can have confidence that God is in control of every area of our lives and whatever comes our way. He allows it and controls it. For the Redeemed of Christ, our future is bright. Rejoice!
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
