Where can we go? To the One who holds the future.
When your days seem threatened by broken dreams, difficult situations, and questions with no answers, life can be challenging. When a marriage falls apart. When friends stop speaking. When health deteriorates and strength gives way to weakness. It can be overwhelming. However,
"I keep the Lord in mind always.
Because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken." Psalm 16: 8
No matter what the future holds, we can trust the LORD to keep us in the situations of life. He loves us. He knows our situations. He knew them before we faced them and He knows what they will be tomorrow. As we lean on Him, He will direct our paths and give us grace to meet the hours of trial. We don't feel that way, but how we feel does not change God. He is faithful.
"LORD, You are my portion and my cup of blessing; You hold my future." Psalm 16:5
We often seek solutions and plan out in our minds what the best solution will be. We try to help out God and reason that we can't sit idle and wait when we are capable of doing this or that. So often, the Lord has other ideas about the solution and all we need do is rest in Him. We don't need to jump out ahead of Him. The best of our efforts is wasted energy in comparison to waiting on the timing of God and letting Him be our "portion". The blessing He has in store is unequaled. He holds our future and when He holds it, it is in good hands. When your future is in doubt, rest in the presence of God. Am learning this lesson daily.
