"Things To Come!"

Sometimes not knowing what THE FUTURE holds creates some anxiety. What challenges may arise? How healthy will we be? What hopes will be dashed and what will come to fruition? The pondering can rest on many such things. We can even be tempted to imagine much that may never come about. However, rather than focusing on what we don't know, it is the focusing on what we can know that will make all the difference in our ability to press on even with the reality of many unknowns.

In Paul's letter to the church at Rome he stated. . .
"(38) For I AM SURE THAT neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor THINGS TO COME, nor powers, (39) nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, WILL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD." ( Romans 8:38-39 ESV)

Among all Paul mentioned with certainty as not being able to separate us from the love of God, he included THE FUTURE; "things to come." Though the "things" of the future may not be known, we can know this about the love of God. Paul didn't even have to begin trying to imagine and list what those "things" might be. He merely implied regardless of what may come in the FUTURE, we will still be able to find complete security in God's love. Therefore, let us surrender our anxiousness about the "things" of life as we place our confidence in the One Who does love us dearly, knows all THE FUTURE holds, and has a GLORIOUS FUTURE in store for all who have surrendered to Christ Jesus as Lord. Regardless of what may come His love will still be, for it is just as eternal as He is!

Have a great day KNOWING, COME WHAT MAY, GOD'S LOVE REMAINS!
