Back to the Future

BACK TO THE FUTURE

By Roberta Stultz

The holidays are over and it’s time to get back to the daily and weekly routine. Have you thought about your New Year resolutions? I truly haven’t given it a lot of thought because I haven’t done too well with last year's (I still weigh the same).  But this year I am thinking differently about the future. I want to invest my attention on my spiritual future. How can I invest in the future that my relationship with Jesus is encouraging me to take seriously.

Listening to the news and reading my Bible have me thinking things are moving rapidly toward things that Jesus said would take place as we get closer to the time of His return. Jesus is our living hope! His love and his life have paved the way for our secured living future. 

How can I continue to move forward into the plan and purpose that His shed blood paid the price for me to walk with Him? My heart's desire is to please him in all I say and do, however the flesh is still alive and well and resisting whenever I lose my focus on my Fathers’ loving guidance.  The more I understand and trust the nature of my God, the more I can relax and enjoy His presence and fellowship, resting in the knowledge that in His purpose and plan I am secure. I will continue to seek Him and serve, resting in the confidence He will correct and confirm. Now, what’s next Lord?
