Proverbs 23
18 Surely there is a future,
And your hope will not be cut off.
Back to the Future. “Where we’re going, we don’t need roads,” said Doc Brown. He and Marty McFly were going to the future. And in the future, cars didn’t just drive on surface roads, they flew. I thought that was the coolest of the ‘Back to the Future’ movies. Marty goes to the future, and gets to see how things work out. He gets to see some of what is to come.
As Christians, we can look forward to our future. We can rest easy in knowing what our future holds. No one else can claim to know their future for certain. No other religion can make, and follow through, with such bold claims: Your hope will not be cut off. God is planning a hopeful and glorious future full of life, full of joy, and full of his presence.
Remember today, that no matter what the experts say, no matter what you feel, no matter what you ‘know’ is going to happen- God is in control, and as he tells us in the book of Jeremiah 29:11 “ For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” God tells us over and over that he will not abandon us. He will come through. Believe in him, and receive his promise. This is a new day. It’s the start of a new week. Trust in God. He’ll hold true to his word.
