Smile At Your Future
Do you have anxiety thinking about the future? As children of God we do not need to be afraid of what is going to happen next, instead we need to smile at the future. Because your future is in God’s hands. He will take care of you.
Put your hope and trust in the Lord. Even if your children abandon you, God will never leave you.
Your future does not end with this Earth, it goes beyond that. When you finish your life on Earth, your real future begins.
Your life on earth is a rehearsal for the real future.
In the Bible we read about the Apostles and the ways they faced their death, instead of worrying and blaming God they rejoiced. Their faces glowed thinking about the future.
Even while Stephen was stoned to death, he did not cry out for help, instead he prayed and saw the glory of the Lord and Jesus standing at God’s right hand.
Acts 7:55-56
‘But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”’
We need to learn to smile looking at our future no matter what our circumstances are now. Because the King of kings and Lord of lords is with you.
Many people who do not have children often worry about their future because there is no one to take care of them in their old age.
We need to remember that it is not for our spouse or parents or children that we are living for. We are living for the One who gave his life for us on the cross.
1 Corinthians 3:16
‘Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?’
1 Corinthians 6:19
‘Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;’
God has purchased you. He brought you with a price - His Holy and precious blood.
1 Peter 1:18-19
‘For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.’
To be absent from the body means present with the Lord. When you understand this reality, you will be able to smile at your future.
Jeremiah 29:11
‘For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’
God has planned everything out for you. His word says that he has planned out your entire future which is filled with prosperity and good things. The architect of the universe, the creator of the universe has planned your future. He wants to give you a happy and joyful future. Your circumstances and situation right now does not matter.
Summary
Your future is not limited to this earth. It does not end in a box. Your future goes beyond that. You need to put your faith in the One who created the universe. He has the best in store for you.
Put your hope and trust in the Lord. Even if your children abandon you, God will never leave you.
