What Does the Future Hold?
BY: Maxine M.
Remember the beautiful song that was released a few years ago
Proclaiming how the writer could ONLY IMAGINE the wonder Heaven would bestow
What will we do when face-to-face with Jesus?! Who can truly know?
Our imagination simply cannot comprehend the splendor of that day
The awesomeness that awaits those who have CHOSEN to obey
How can mere words describe? Are there any His Glory fully convey?
We can only imagine how wonderful that experience will be
Eternal joy & happiness just by ACCEPTING, in FAITH, that His death & resurrection has set us free
But can we even BEGIN to imagine the hopelessness of those who have never bowed their knee?!
Where do they turn when life brings heartache & sorrow…and surely it will
Health, prosperity, excitement, romance…many days a life will fill
But it’s INEVITABLE that it will fade in time…all will lose its thrill
How can they be confident in decisions made if advice hasn’t been sought in prayer?
Or if there’s no precise Divine blueprint to which we can refer & share?
I cannot imagine just relying on “human” wisdom when life sends “storms” for which to prepare
When doubt & loneliness invades the dark night filling a soul with fear & dread
I cannot imagine not being able to turn to the “WORD” and the passages we’ve so often read
Sending defeat & despair fleeing…feeling that surge of new strength instead
Can you imagine the feeling of “sinking sand” when their castles crumble & fade
Instead of the “Rock” solid foundation of the promises Jesus made?
The absolute CERTAINTY that OUR sin debt HAS been paid
On what is their hope of tomorrow based? Where are the reserves of strength time can exhaust?
How will trust & security be restored when the line of fidelity in marriage has been crossed?
WHERE will comfort come from when the dearest on earth to them has been lost?
And somewhere on life’s path, our OWN mortality, we’ll be FORCED to face
Be it as a soldier in harm’s way…perhaps overseas or even a US Military Base
Perchance on a busy highway from a drunk driver or one traveling at a reckless pace
Or age & disease may be declaring the end will be near
I cannot even imagine how the UNKNOWN would cause enormous fear
The uncertainty of WHAT lies beyond this veil…will judgment be severe?
How can life be truly enjoyed when it’s uncertain what an eternal future will hold?
But you CAN find total Blessed Assurance when in His plan of Salvation you’re enrolled
Can you imagine the perfect inner-peace when, by CHRIST, you’re life is controlled?!
All it takes is this one time forever life changing decision
Of accepting God’s GIFT of GRACE with its promises, protection & provision
And then ENJOY the most astounding Riches in Glory you can ever envision!
