The Future is for Discovering.

“It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.” - Acts 1:7

Okay, so this is one of my biggest and most taxing struggles. I can never seem to just surrender it all to God and know that he has the best for me in the end. So when I hear Jesus telling his disciples that we are not to worry or stress about what the future holds for us and we are to simply have faith in God’s plans by what he has placed under his own authority. This is comforting yet I still can’t seem to break the barrier of 100% selling out for realizing God’s purpose in my life and taking it for what it is and making it happen.
I reiterate the title of this post, “The Future is for Discovering,” because God laid out His plan for us before the world was made and we are of no authority to let our minds wander to what may happen in the future when God sees us here on earth knowing full well what will happen eventually. I personally think it is funny to God that our thoughts are so out there compared to what has been set in stone for an amount of time that will never be completely fathomed.
So, our jobs as servants and believers in Christ are to trust God here and now for what his plans are; and when the time comes for us to discover our future, it will be very tangible and visible for us to realize. And by that time, we will probably be wrongly focused on another pointless situation that we will be worrying about.
In closing this short tidbit, I will say, we have no need to worry about what tomorrow may bring because God has his plan, and his plan will stay that way forever. The only thing we can do is follow his guidance that is going on right now because that is what will have the most impact on your life and the lives around you. Lives will never be changed now, while we are thinking about what we’re going to do tomorrow.
