WALKING TOWARD THE FUTURE GOD HAS FOR YOU

When I was younger and life didn’t seem so complicated, I believed I knew all the answers about the future God had in store for me and others. As a pastor and spiritual leader, I was often asked this question: “What do you think God may want me to do?” Based on the information they shared with me beforehand, I would quickly give them my opinion. I did this more out of innocence, because I didn’t know some things about life, than because I thought I knew everything. I never wanted to be that kind of person and worked hard to avoid becoming it. On this side of life in my sixties, knowing what God has for our future is often mysterious. In other words, it is more of a journey through life than some destination we reach. If we are not careful, we will instill fear in one another and even ourselves when we do not know certain matters about the future.
