God Has A Great Future For Us
In the Shakespearean play, “Hamlet”,
Ophelia says, “Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be.” Les
Brown, the motivational speaker wrote, “The graveyard is the richest place on
earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were
never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never
sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never
discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep
with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.”
People often strive to improve their
lives and themselves, but for various reasons such as immediate circumstances,
fear, doubt, or unbelief never quite reach the places that they can reach. But the Bible says that God wants to take you
to places that you have never seen (1 Corinthians 2:9, 10). He created us and has a great end for us
(Jeremiah 29:11). We can ask God who can give us a light to show us the way to
reach our dreams (Psalm 119:105).
He does not want us to bump around
and waste time trying to pursue a vision that we were not designed to reach. He
simply asks us to acknowledge Him in every way and rest in Him, and He will
direct our path (Proverbs 3:5-6). He
declares that He will go before us and clear a nice path for us (Isaiah 40:4).
Let us go forth prayerfully and joyfully
with God and see what awesome things that He has in store for us.

However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and
what no human mind has conceived”—the things God has prepared for those who love
him—
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
