The Picture of your Future
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Many are times when the thick cloud covers the firmament and all is gloomy, it appears as if there is no element of brightness, glory or resplendent therein.
'Tough times', they say, 'never last, but tough people people do' , tough people have problems, but they win at last. Meanwhile you can still see a portrait of your future amidst tough darkness if you can or have identified with the light of the world.
Jesus Christ, as the light of the world is able and more than able to beam light on your path in order to know which way to trudge to your divinely destined future.
If you are considering the present spate of bad economy, insecurity, ineptitude of the government, unpaid salaries, corruption, and other headache-giving issues, you may have a wrong picture of the future.
Many think Christians don't have any hope here on earth, giving the fact that the devil seems to be the God of this earth, that is an erroneous thought, because it is while living on this earth that we solidify our hope of eternity.
The devil is only a master to those who surrender their God-given authority and dominion to him. Since you have chosen to worship no one else than the Lord of the universe who created and has re-created you in Christ, you are covered, secured from the devil's devises.
The event in the world cannot and should not dictate or determine your destiny. You are designed eternally for somewhere.
Joseph did not allow the circumstances or hatred from his brothers, trowing to the pit, being sold to slavery, being wrongly framed and sent to prison that surrounds his growing up never to destroy the beautiful future God has shown him.
You have a bright future secured in Jesus Christ. You cannot afford to put it away. You must see this in light of the word of God. You can't afford to fail.
Look up to Christ, your future is greatly bright in Him.
God bless you.
