Only God Knows the Future; Trust in Him

I don't need to know the future I just need to know Jesus Christ. However, He is gracious and loving to tell us things about prophecy.

He didn't give us dates but faith to trust what He said. We do not need to see with our eyes when we have faith and Him living in us.

Hebrews 11:1 "1Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see."

Romans 8:24

"For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see?"

2 Corinthians 4:18

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Trust Him, not in people, not in writings but only in Him. When we trust Him we will see the truth and be able to discern false teaching and false teachers.

Hebrews 10:39

"But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls."

We do not walk in fear or anger!!!!

Psalm 23:4

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

What is God's rod and staff?

His rod of protection and strength, a shepherd uses to fight off enemies.

His staff is God's guidance and loving-kindness.

We cannot see these things with our eyes but we know them in His Spirit Who lives in us, because of Him we need not revert to the flesh in fear about anything.

Be comforted too that He gives us what we need when we need it. He knows what is coming and what is needed, we do not. Our best guesses cannot compare to what God knows about our life and our future.

Matthew 6:33-34 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own."

Matthew 6:25

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"

Matthew 6:27

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

Worrying changes nothing and planning based on our fear only causes more calamity.
