What’s Ahead?
“Anything coming?” Hubs asks as we drive along a two-lane country road.
“Nope, all clear to pass.” I reply.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could say that about the future in America? But, we cannot.
When All Truth Is Told…
Not one of us knows what is ahead. No one can ‘guess’ what tomorrow holds. Regardless of who is president, the future is held in a fog.
But This Is What I Know…
And, it’s cliche but it is absolute, rock-solid truth.
♫ I don’t know who holds tomorrow – but I know Who holds my hand. ♫
Look, y’all, you know who I voted for – I don’t think it’s a secret. I would love to see four more years of red in the White House because these four years have been easy. Life is held in high esteem. Israel is supported. Economy is great. Jobs are coming back. Gasoline is cheap. Police are respected by our sitting president. History is protected by this president.
Yes, I would love to see this continue.
The Bible Tells Us …
Brothers and sisters, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3.13-14
The Beat Does Go On…
For me the beat will have either a nice life-supported beat or it will be the beat of a war drum – but, God.
He has a plan. A plan for His church. His bride.
I have a feeling GAKAT on my right wrist is going to be a great comfort in the coming days and weeks.
Father God hear my cries. And, I once again remind You – You are the God of Life and You love Israel with an everlasting love. Be merciful O God – be merciful. In Jesus Name, amen.
The one assurance I have is that our God has gone ahead of us. He will be there for us, no matter what lies ahead. xo
He is already “there.” Jehovah Shammah. Ezekial 48.35
yes He alone is our assurance for whatever is ahead and He alone does all things well.
So very well…
Great words that are true no matter what…no matter where
No matter what. No matter where. Selah
Yes, my post was entitled hope Ahead. Thank you for sharing the scripture, song lyrics, and the encouragement.
Jolene, hope changes everything!!! You know that only so well.
Hope……………..trust………….looking ahead with both…………………..thanks only to our Jesus.
Only to Him.
The current situation put in in mind of Shelley’s ‘Ozymanias’, an a bit of word play on ‘a head’…
He told us of a great stone head,
a wreck on barren desert sand,
last remnant of a kingdom, dead,
in a forgotten antique land.
The vast and proud and sightless eyes
still gaze upon his vanished works
where carrion-kite in silence flies
and only fox and jackal lurk.
The graven words can still be seen:
“Behold, ye mighty, and despair!”
but all’s as if it’s never been,
no echoes linger on the air,
and Shelley’s caution still rings true
of glories gone like morning dew.
You’re too smart for your own good. 😉 xo
If we all look to God, we’ll be able to handle whatever outcome takes place.
And, that is exactly what I will do. I never take my eyes off of HIM!
Ditto what Anita and you said above!
Ditto, my reply to Anita.
As always Susan, Amen, Amen, Amen. I’m totally with you . Thank you so much for sharing, always encouraging.. Blessings. Visit from FMF #11
Paula, there is a lot of us, amen? I’d say a majority.
We can press ahead, because we know our future is in God’s hands. Whatever comes, He will always be with us through good and bad. And we can have hope, because our God is an awesome God. Blessings to you, dear Susan! xo
We will always have Hope.
So true. God is with us always, in all circumstances.
And, He will be glorified.
“Don’t worry. Be happy.” Whoever wrote that doesn’t have a lick of sense, as we say here in the south. That’s cotton candy that evaporates the moment it’s touch or licked. (:
The storm, a greater storm, than the West has ever seen is coming. It will stand out more than wars that our citizens endured, the Great Depression my parents and millions of others struggled through, etc. But while the storm clouds have been gathering since the garden for that last clash, the LORD God has called a people unto Himself.
His people will endure and in the end be the most blessed. Not because of any heroics His people perform but because His people have a GOD who is All Powerful, All Knowing, All Present. As He carried the baby Nation of Israel through 40 years in the desert, He is and will do the same NOW. Because HE never changes.
Thanks as always, Sus.
Always The Same – I AM.
I keep trying to remember, “it’s not about me!” It’s all about HIM!
ALWAYS ABOUT HIM!!!!!!!!
