Don't you wish you could see the future? Know what's coming around the bend? See how things will be in 5 years? I do. Right now more than ever! The unknown is a scary thing at times. The unknown can cripple you if you let it.
Often times I've wondered why God won't allow us to know the future, but then, that wouldn't be faith, would it? If we knew the future, then why would we turn to God for direction? peace? patience? God longs to give us those things, but we have to ask it of Him.
God never promised that life would be easy. He never said that suffering wouldn't come. But He does promise to walk alongside us, every step of the way. And when we can't see what's coming ahead, we place our faith in Him, because He can!
