Looking Forward

As I pray this morning, I am struck with thought that I cannot know the “future” as God has designed it. It is not humanly possible. To be content in the moment is the best there can be. (As read back over this, I am not content that “this is the best”. I’m thinking the hope of what is to come is the better even though I don’t understand or know it. I believe that is somehow the object of this read: HOPE founded in TRUST because of BELIEF=FAITH..... but read on). With knowledge of my dependence and frailty, looking to God as the supplier of all my needs. Willfully submitted and committed, rightly connected in this Body of Christ, to The Head, that is Christ Himself. As He lives and moves and has being, doing as The Father wills, so too, I live and move and have being, doing as The Father wills. To understand what He is doing is not the object, but rather being in agreement and relationship with Him as He does what He is doing. So I pray in the moment, for the moment and the moments yet to come. Those years of moments that are behind are merely a map of where I have been and the distance travelled to be where I am right now. O Lord, thank You for creating me to be saved. It was Your intent from the beginning. Thank You for saving me from every thing that seeks to separate me from You. Though the days are not complete, Your love is complete. You fully know me and see me right where I am, You see me with You. I do not know what You are doing, but I do know that You have desired and purposed to do it with me and this great body of believers. I cannot fathom what eternal life looks like, but I do dimly understand that it does not include death. That thought itself is greater than anything I can imagine, but I look forward to it in this moment. To fully understand and rejoice in Your revelation.... “Death! Where is your sting!” is enough and life itself. I live because You live. To live is Christ. Amen
