When the Future Is Unknown

Published: July 13, 2020, midnight

b'I was unsure what I should do about my upcoming class schedule. I looked at the available classes, credits, and time slots. There were so many options to choose from\\u2026but the countless options made my decision harder to make. What if I made the wrong decision?\\nHave you ever felt that way\\u2014questioning your decisions because you\\u2019re stressed about the future? Especially when there are so many decisions to face in our lives\\u2014when (and whether!) to attend college, get married, have children, etc.\\nWe often believe the future depends on us, but that isn\\u2019t true. The future is actually in God\\u2019s hands. He is our Creator, He knows everything, and He is working everything for His good kingdom purposes (Genesis 1:1; Romans 8:28-39; 1 John 3:19-20).\\nWhen the choices we need to make cause us to worry about the future, we can instead choose to trust God with what\\u2019s to come. Yes, the future may seem scary on the surface, but Jesus is sovereign over everything that happens in our lives.\\nThe details of our futures are always unknown because we aren\\u2019t in control: God is. When we are afraid, we can go to Him because He knows and loves us\\u2014 even when the future is unknown (Hebrews 4:14-16). \\u2022 Grace McCready\\n\\u2022 What decisions are you worried about making? \\n\\u2022 Why are you worried about these decisions? \\n\\u2022 Read Romans 8.
