God Knows Your Future
It's interesting to me the things people will try in order to figure out what's going to happen next: astrology, horoscopes, reading tea leaves, consulting with people, bio-rhythms.
But they're going to the wrong source because the only one who knows what's going to happen next is God.
The Bible says He's able to be in the past, the present, and the future all at the same time. That should give us great confidence in God. He not only knows about the future, He's there in the future. He not only walks with us day-by-day, He can also walk in our future.
If I know that God knows all my tomorrows - today -- then I should ask for advice. The things you don't know, God can tell you about. He's not going to lay out your whole life all at once, telling you everything that will happen in your life. If He did, you'd likely get very discouraged or prideful or both. Instead, He gives it to you a little bit at a time.
Here's what I'd suggest, when you get up in the morning, go over your schedule with the Lord. Pray, "Father, You've already seen this day that I'm about to experience. Tell me the things that are important today and then help me to focus on them."
