Facing the Future

Facing the future (the unknowing) is one of the most scariest unsettleing things we go through. One of the many frustrations we have in life!

....No one really knows what is going to happen; no one can predict the future. - Ecclesiastes 10:14

GOD WANTS ME TO FACE THE FUTURE...

With Humility - God doesn't want us to know the future.
With Wisdom - Live with the reality of death and see the big picture.
With Patience - Live one day at a time
With Commitment - Stay in Gods truth

But..Most importantly:
With CONFIDENCE - TRUST GOD'S PROMISES

throughout the Bible God makes us 7,486 promises! How amazing is that! 7,486 promises to us, and everyone answered with a "YES!" from God!

Throughout the Bible God promises to...
Hear our prayers - Isiah 65:24
Be with us always - Mathew 28:20
Comfort us in the times of need - John 14:18
Turn our tragedies into triumphs - Romans 8:28
Never to give up on us when we make mistakes - Philippians 1:6
Reward us for being faithful - Mathew 16:27
Forgive our sins when we confess them - 1 John 1:9
Give guidance to those who seek it - James 1:5
Provide for all our physical and spiritual needs - Philippians 4:18
Someday put an end to all evil and death - Revelation 21:4

Wow..how amazing! With all of the promises God makes, out of all the 7,486 promises, why should we ever fear the future?

For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11
