Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come? As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death.
Ecclesiastes 8:7-8a
What may come? No one knows. Yeah we close ourselves up in our homes, weigh every decision on the spectrum of fear, and stop ourselves from living freely in the life God has given us.
We have no idea what tomorrow may bring. And we have no way to stop it from coming.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble if it’s own.
Matthew 6:34
Don’t you think that if I knew what tomorrow would bring, I would have stopped some of the hurt that has happened to my family over the years? I would’ve hugged a little longer. I would’ve said more of what I felt. I would have changed the direction our life had taken. I would see my youngest son at his fifth grade celebration this week.
But only God knows the trajectory of this life. He is the only one that can see what is to come and when we will die. And in all his wisdom and knowledge he thinks of us and loves us.
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me are written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
Psalm 139:16-17
God ordained each one of our days. He looked down from heaven and knew when we were to be born and when we are to die. Our fear tries to manipulate the days in between, but nothing can stop his plans.
So why do we waste time on fear? Why do we allow our anxious thoughts to take us captive?
There is a big world out there that God intentionally placed us in. He drew up a plan as he breathed life in us to fashion us for a specific purpose in His plan. He desires for us to live fully in that purpose between the 2 dates He has set on our timeline. And there is nothing we can do to move these 2 dates.
If we allow fear to drive us or keep us stagnant, we aren’t able to fully fulfill the purpose He has for us. There is no time for us to fear, only time for us to fulfill our purpose and LIVE.
So what is God calling you to do TODAY? Trust Him today and don’t let fear STOP you from walking out that door and living the life God has for you.
Be Brave and Live Fully.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the LORD, because you know that your labor in the LORD is not in vain.”
1 Corinthians 15:58
