Questions of the Future
July 9, 2011 Leave a comment
There are two questions that are commonly asked about the future:
Where do you see yourself in five years?
If you could find out exactly where you will be 10 years from now, would you want to?
What will the future hold? (Forgot about that one.)
The future is one of those weird and puzzling things to think about. We look at what’s happening in our lives and can be either optimistic or really bummed about it. Maybe we’re given a clue or told about something that’s coming our way, and we really don’t see how it’s possible to manage.
There’s the ultimate question about the future (okay, so maybe there are more than two questions): how will it all end up?
Then there’s the more immediate future where we don’t always see things as means to an end.
God has plans for hope and a future for all of us (Jeremiah 29:11).
When you know hope is always available in your outlook, how does that change what you see in your future?
