Undetermined Future
I find it so very interesting how religions and their leaders have the future determined. Their doctrines and theories have the future all figured out as to how and what will happen yet they lie. The reason they lie is because it is impossible to figure the future with man much less God. Who has the mind of God? Who can imagine the future as it is to be? The leaders and all of their theology and creeds and concepts and doctrines and theories are lies. They know not. Let me expound a little further to prove the point.
How would it have been possible to foresee two hundred years ago what would be here on Earth today? It would have been impossible! It has been a slow steady procession that has brought knowledge and one finding upon another that has built what we have today yet two hundred years ago, they couldn't have imagined the technology of today. So it is with all of the future. There is no way to foresee and figure tomorrow. Those that do, condor what they say from the imaginations of their own heart with a book proclaimed Holy so as to ensure their proof yet they know not what they do. It is impossible to know the future of man and if God is greater (yet much greater then man's imagination), how could we imagine the future when God's hand is in every moment of the future?
You see, our Maker is working for us to trust in Him and so we rest in the future He builds and prepares even as we know not yet those who proclaim the future with all of their seemingly wonderful ideas are liars for it is impossible to know what the Maker has in store for each collectively or individually. If only man would look to his Maker and get to know Him so he could trust Him! If this would be done than he would not have to proclaim a future he knows nothing about and come up with all sorts of ideas so he has something to believe to satisfy his own mind and soul. The future will take care of itself because it is in the hands of the great Creator who made it all and we will become what He intends us to be whatever that might be. Who can know the mind of the Creator? No one yet we can and should love Him with all that we are. It is the Creator that will ensure the future just as He always has and so we can rest for our future is in His mind and hands.
Think about it like this. How can time end? There is no end to time. Time is eternal. Time may be different in the future than as we know it today but time cannot end. Even if nothing existed, time would still be. Time is forever. And who made time? We know nothing of time except that which we are relative to. We can form all kinds of theories concerning time as leaping into the future or going back in time yet show me one who has done any of it? We only are knowledgeable of the time in which we live and so all else is outside of our ability because of the millions of variables that can change and mold the future just as the past was molded to bring the present and so the future is outside of our understanding or ability to grasp yet man needs something to trust in, thus man comes up with all kinds of thoughts that he imagines so as to produce a confidence he feels the need for and then gathers others under his or her wing and so a religion is formed and off they go to try and change the world all the while telling lies. If only man would just rely on his Maker and love Him. It is then that he would begin to understand and appreciate what the Maker has done for him. It is then that he would find rest and wait on his Maker to do His work in him and so the future would come and unfold as it was meant to be. The entire future of time is relative only to the Maker of time. He holds all of everything in His own mind and hands. Let us rest in it!
One last thought....what does it matter what the future holds? Look at the greatness and magnificence of the Maker and all that He has created up to this point....the Universe and all therein! Why can we not trust in our Maker for the future? Are we stupid or what? Amen?!
