Future

Good morning, Dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the warm day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! Once again, last night, we had the thunder and lightning, but no rain, Hmmm, what are we doing wrong?

But we went over to the Park, because Matthew wanted to see Terry and wrestle with him, even thought Matthew slept so long, it was too hot to walk, We did, however, spy a hawk perched on top of the fence and drove right up to the fence beside it, and watched it look around, before it flew off! They have a harvester in the lake which is cleaning some of the hydrilla out, and it is interesting to watch it work, spewing water all around. ..always something to see in the park! God is good!

From the Promise Bible:

How can I be sure God will direct my future in this life?

Psalm 32:8 "The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you."

The Lord directs our steps. Though the pathway may lead through dark valleys or seem to take unnecessary detours, we will one day look back and discover that the Lord's way was best.

Jeremiah 29:11 "I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

Too often we doubt God's care. We are tempted to think he is neglecting us or giving us the bare minimum. We have hope in the knowledge that God our loving Creator, will always give us his best.

Phillippians 1:6 "I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again."

God finishes what he starts. We should not allow the limitations of our finite perspective to blind us to the promise that God will complete his work in us. Our future is secure in Christ.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
