What the Future Holds

Read: Psalm 91:9-16 Click Here!

Hebrews 13:5 “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

I know I’m not supposed to worry, but I’m a little concerned about something. Perhaps, It’s because of a new situation in our family. As I look around, I can’t help but have a bit of anxiety. You see, my wife and I recently found out that we were going to be grandparents. This led me to think about the kind of world our grandchild will grow up in.

When he or she graduates from High School, it will be 2024. Will college cost $100,000 a year by then? If there’s any oil left, Will gas cost $25 a gallon? Will morals and ethics be outmoded? Will Church still be making an impact? The Future can be a scary place. The unknown can be overwhelming, especially when the known has so many struggles. That’s why we need to trust in what God has promised.

No matter what situation our grandchildren will face, they can depend on God’s promise of help, regardless of what trouble the world will be in. God said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” {Hebrews 13:5} And Jesus said, “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” {Matthew 28:20}

Those are great promises to depend on when we start to worry about the future, whether it’s our or the next generation’s. —-Dave Branzon

Concern for future cares and problems
Will only bring us pain and sorrow;
the Lord has told us not to worry
About the troubles of tomorrow. —Sper
