When considering the future

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” (Prov. 16:9 ESV)

 What the future holds 

During changes in political leadership many on both sides worry how it will affect them and their future. But, no matter who ends up in power, one thing remains true, God is still the same (Heb. 13:8), He doesn’t  change (Mal. 3:6).  And, His many promises in the Bible are still there and still work for those who apply them and mix faith with them (2 Cor. 1:20). I love what someone said, “I stopped worrying about what my future holds when I put my faith in the One who holds the future!” 

God plans to give you a future and a hope 

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jer. 29:11 ESV)

 Great is God’s faithfulness

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lam. 3:21-23 ESV)

 Therefore…

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Rom. 12:12 ESV)

“Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.” (Prov. 23:18 ESV)
