Fear Not: The Future

Trusting in the God who is from everlasting to everlasting

Fear of the future, or more precisely, a fear of what the future holds – this might be one of the hardest fears for us to grapple with. Because the future holds the potential for the realization of all our other fears. The unknowns of the future are the perfect breeding grounds for fear to build upon fear. It is no wonder that throughout human history, we have become obsessed with trying to see into the future. We desperately want assurance of what’s to come and maybe even a way to manipulate the whole thing in our favor. 

Yet our best attempts are like chasing after the wind. Trying to know and control the future is a wearisome and soul-crushing business. Because we can’t. We aren’t supposed to. It is a burden we were never meant to bear. There is a better way.

“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.” (Isaiah 40:28)

Instead of fearing what the future holds, we can trust in the God who holds the future. Our God, who is from everlasting to everlasting. The One who has always been, and always will be.

But there’s more good news! Because our everlasting God has a never-ending love! His love endures forever. How do we know this to be true?

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). 

God has shown us the depth of His love through Jesus. Jesus, the one through whom all things were made. Jesus, who humbled Himself unto death, even death on a cross. He is our life and our light and our proof of God’s enduring love. 

What control or knowledge have you been trying to grasp onto out of fear? In prayer, ask God to help you surrender that fear, in exchange for trust in His everlasting goodness and love. 

Today as you read the Scriptures that follow, give thanks to our everlasting God because He is good! And His love endures forever.
