02/23/2024 – Your Times are in God’s Hand
Psalms 31: 14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” 15 My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me. 16 Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
One of the greatest mysteries in our lives is the question of our future. What will it look like, and…will it even come? We can learn nothing about it by ourselves. There is no person or divination that can assure us anything about our future. It belongs entirely to God!
Despite their sin and bad choices, God had designed a plan for His people. He would carry out His plan. Your future is secure in God! If you remain in Christ, your future is safe, your tomorrow will be filled with blessings! You will progress from glory to glory! You will be transformed and sanctified in the Spirit of God! Your future is secure in Him!
Without Christ, people think of the future as the result of things that will happen to them- factors beyond their control…decisions others will make. But in Christ, we know that our future belongs to God. To the extent that we obey Him, He will complete to perfection the good work He started in us. What are the most important factors that will impact your future? What can you do today to ensure a blessed future for yourself and yours?
Your future belongs to God. God will shape your future and the future of many through your obedience to His word. Have you considered how much influence God will exert (deploy) through you and how God will impact this year through you?
