My unseen future will end with me in Heaven with the Lord. I look forward to that, and I believe that all the Redeemed should be excited with me. Meanwhile, we wait.
Psalm 37:7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Instead of allowing the antics and sins of the wicked to make us angry, we are told to "rest in the Lord".
While we wait, don't be discouraged by the worldly crowd. Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
Just remember that the story is still unfolding, and we haven't lived through the last scene.
Keep your eyes on the sky, wait patiently for the Lord to finish His plan for the ages and know that the best is yet to come.

“Time is filled with swift transition, — Naught of earth unmoved can stand, — Build your hopes on things eternal, — Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
“Trust in Him who will not leave you, — Whatsoever years may bring, — If by earthly friends forsaken, — Still more closely to Him cling.”
