Trust the One Who Actually Knows the Future

 Prov 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.
Let’s be honest, none of us really knows what is going to happen in the future. We have a rough idea at times but really do you know exactly everything that is going to happen even in the next minute?
God does. So why do we go through life winging it? Why would we go a second trusting ourselves and our limited understanding?
No matter how it looks to us God as a loving Father desires to put us in the best and safest place. He is also there telling us everything that we need to do. Problems come when we don’t listen or don’t do what He says when and how He says it. Like being lost in the forest and instead of listening to an experienced guide you decide to find your own way even though you nothing about the forest.
When we lean on the limited knowledge we have instead of the limitless knowledge He has we get ourselves into trouble. These verses are not about us mindlessly being controlled by God. They are the keys to success.

Correct?  So then why are there people in hell now and why are there people who are and will still go to hell and who will be cast into the lake of fire, which is the second death, to exist for eternity? Did God’s grace not apply for them?   The problem wasn’t God’s grace the problem was that they did not have or use faith to access it. To put it in an earthy conte
