Dear friends, we want to be excited about the future and we get caught up in that excitement. The Bible always assures us that our future is bright. Our future is safe in God’s hands in the days to come. Because He has a beautiful plan for us.
There are many examples in the Bible, including the example of Joseph. He endured many hardships from a young age and was faithful to God. He was sold by his brother and later imprisoned. But he trusted in God’s promises at every moment, did not lose hope. Later we see that God placed him in a great position. So let us be encouraged by this example and believe that no matter how many problems come to us, God can turn us around from all situations.
Another example is the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt. After being freed from slavery in Egypt, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. Although the journey was difficult, they were excited about the future place of God, a land flowing with milk and honey. That is why we must trust only in Him.
Therefore, dear friends, let us stand firm in our faith. May we always rejoice in the promise of eternal life that the Lord Jesus Christ has given us. May we be sure of our final future. Because the Lord Jesus has prepared a place for us from the beginning so that we can go to that place. Share this message with others so that they can be encouraged by this promise of God.
Dear friends now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about ‘being excited for the future’.
