God has not promised that he keeps his children from suffering . He has not promised to keep us from an hour of need to face . We do not have the promise of world peace, silence, or the continued financial well-being. Us is peace and security of soul and spirit promised - the supernatural power of any true emergency - and a promise that we never have to beg for bread. God would rather have us in the place came to Paul as he said: " but if we have food and clothing, we will let it suffice ." (1 Timothy 6.8; Elberfelder )
The future looks good from evil, and knowing nothing. But David said in Psalm 23: "I fear no evil." This is the message for the faithful today. The future is also under his control, so we need not fear. God has programmed everything. He knows the exact moment when Christ will come again. The God who controls all the heavens and the Earth, said: " Behold, the nations are like a drop in the bucket, like a speck of dust in the scales they are respected ... all nations are as nothing before him ... less than nothing "(Isaiah 40,15.17; Schlachter 2000 ).
God wants from us that we continue to work until the second coming of Christ. This simply means that we should work so as if that would never end and live as if tomorrow would come. The great evangelist DL Moody was asked, "What would you do today if you knew that Jesus Christ would come tomorrow?" His answer was: "I would plant a tree". So be it. Let the true Christian to sow it, and make God to plant seeds and to deal with doing God's work. If he comes back, it let us as those related to "do his will" the.
still one God, the individual hairs on our heads. He still counts the sparrows that fall on the floor. He still hears petitions before they are posted. He still answers before he is called. Still, he is overflowing with more than think we can ask or think. Why so afraid?
