Does the future scare you? If it does, that’s understandable, from a human standpoint. After all, so much is unknown.

 

And yet, God gave us His Word as a guidebook. The Bible tells us certain specific things that bring great comfort.

 

Colossians 1:17 says, “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

 

For the most part, we know the past. We are navigating through the present. But the Word tells us that Jesus is standing there at the end, bringing all things to their proper conclusion. In Isaiah and Revelation, we have virtually identical verses that promise Jesus will make all things new one day. There will be no more tears, pain, or suffering. He won’t allow it!

 

If the future scares you, focus on the truth of Scripture. Jesus isn’t intimidated, or moved, or unsure about anything, and that includes what is to come.

 

Whatever your future holds, make sure Jesus is at the center of it!

 

Let’s pray. Lord, you stand above time. You know everything that’s happened and what is to happen. We can rest in that, thank you. Amen.
