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.

Do we have big enough expectations?

  Do we have big enough expectations?   How do you define hope?  Do you define it as most of the world has come to define it which is basically wishing?  Actually, hope is to have an expectation for something or that something will happen and this is especially true in a Biblical context.  Take a look at the following verses and every time you read hope say expectation.     Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.    Romans 15:12-13 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”  13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.   Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evi...
