TOPIC: GOD HOLDS THE FUTURE

TEXT: Hebrew 11:8
"By faith Abraham obeyed...And he went out not knowing where he was going"

Life is a journey of faith. It's linked to various transitions and movements from one place to another. And from one season to another.
When Abraham was 75 years old, God called him to leave the land of his father. And so, advanced in years, he departed for the land of Canaan. He was rootless and homeless "not knowing where he was going.(Hebrew 11:8). That was the story of Abraham's Life
Every season that comes and goes bring changes and uncertainties  to our lives. As we are about stepping into the new year, its like transmitting from a familiar to an uncertain future. Like Abraham, many of us might be wondering what tomorrow holds. Particularly when all the news reports about the world socio-economic well being is not very encouraging.
Yet we can be confident that our well being is not founded on the economic premise of this world, but upon God Himself. Our safekeeping does not lie in the place we live but in the presence of God. We can dwell in the secret place of the most high, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1). There in His presence, under His wings, we find refuge(v:4). The eternal God becomes our dwelling place and our sustenance.
Though our dwelling place here on earth may be uncertain, God will be our companion and friend till we realise and fulfil the glorious destiny He has ordained for us.

PRAYER POINT
Father, hold my hand and guide me into the new year in Jesus name.
