Hope for the Future Part 2

In the last post we saw that God knows ALL, nothing goes unnoticed by Him, He views the ends of the Earth; Job 28:24. We saw how He knows us personally. Before we were born; Psalm 139:13, presently; He knows the number of hairs on our head; Matthew 10:30, and He knows us in the future; Jeremiah 29:11.

Let’s look how He cares for us, how He goes before us and is ready to meet us.

Do Not Worry about Tomorrow

Luke 12:22-26 ^{22 “}Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. ²³ For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. ²⁴ Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! ²⁵ Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? ²⁶ Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?”

Such an easy trap to fall into, zapping us of any joy. Be present, be in the moment, most of all “be still” Psalm 46:10; ” Be still and know that I am God…” If God goes before us, Deuteronomy 31:8 “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; then He KNOWS what we need before we do..”, then He knows what we are going need before we even ask, Matthew 6:8; “…for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” Notice, what we NEED not what we want; Philippians 4:19, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

While it’s good to plan and prepare responsibly, it’s bad to dwell and worry about all the ways our planning could go wrong.

…”I am going to prepare a place for you…”

John 14:2

A few years ago, I came across an article where a man renovated a house he bought and prepared it for his wife and family. A wife and family he didn’t have, yet. He thought of every detail to accommodate his future family. In the master bedroom closet he designed spaces for high heeled shoes and in the master bath he had the drawers lined with velvet for jewelry. He also designed furniture and cabinetry to accommodate his height of 6’3″ as well as a woman around 5’7″. Here’s a link to the story: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303916904577378073585064442 (unfortunately as of 7/17/25 you will need a subscription the Wall Street Journal)

How much more does our Heavenly Father care for us? How much more does He KNOW about us than we do? In fact, God does the same thing for us. John 14:2-; “My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” WOW!!! There’s a whole story behind that verse too, but for another post.

That’s some Hope for the future. God knows! He Knows all, He knows our needs before we ask. If this guy can create a home for a family he doesn’t have, how much more can our Heavenly Father who is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent take care of us?!!!
