Listening to the news these days can be a scary event. I don’t even want to think about the kind of world my children are going to live in as adults. Sometimes I feel like getting in bed with the covers over my head and never coming out.
But then God always reminds me that He’s in control. He’s watching over me and my family. Even in the difficult times He has always been there for us providing a place of safety and comfort.
This weekend I was talking with one of my sisters. We were talking about all the sad things happening in the world right now – not the most uplifting conversation. Anyway, when we finished talking I saw that she had posted this song on Facebook and it was just what I needed to see at the moment.
I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but I trust a God who does know. A God who has always met my needs.
I don’t know about tomorrow;
I just live from day to day.
I don’t borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey.
I don’t worry o’er the future,
For I know what Jesus said.
And today I’ll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.
Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know He holds my hand.
Every step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb;
Every burden’s getting lighter,
Every cloud is silver-lined.
Where the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye;
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky.
Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
I don’t know about tomorrow;
It may bring me poverty.
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
Is the one who stands by me.
And the path that is my portion
May be through the flame or flood;
And His presence goes before me
And I’m covered with His blood.
Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
One of my favourite verses. What is yours for bringing comfort?

Our Pastor has preached much lately about this. We can’t just hide in the sand and say “we’re going to heaven – we know the events that are coming up – they are coming soon”. We MUST live with the any moment return but we don’t know WHEN that moment is so we have to be the light so as to teach our children to carry that light forth into their lifetimes as well.
God is already there in our future – no worries 🙂
It’s human nature to worry 🙂 so I like this reminder about why I don’t need to worry.
This is a great reminder in regard to events happening on a national and worldwide level, but also in my own family. We’re experiencing a lot of transitions (my husband just started a new job yesterday). How wonderful that we can let go of worry because God does indeed hold tomorrow and He is with us as we face it.

totally agree – Live can be scary. I’m glad we have a God who is there for us.
