Psalm 31:14-15
But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, “You are my God!” My future is in your hands. Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.
God is in complete control of all things. His sovereignty is not delegated or shared. He is intimately involved in the day-to-day affairs of my life. My future is in his hands.
All the days of my life are recorded in God’s book “before one of them came to be” (Psalm 139:16 NIV). He knows where I will be and when I will be there. He knows when my last breath will be taken. My life will not be “cut short.” My future is in his hands.
The fear of uncertainty flows from our limited images of God. Some picture him as a hand-wringing God who would like to help us but isn’t able to. Others view him as a weak God who wants to intervene but can’t. Many see God as the “Great Clockmaker” who winds up history and allows time to run its course. However, our heavenly Father is intimately involved in all our days. My future is in his hands.
Father, I don’t pretend to understand all that happens in my life, but I can say with the psalmist, “I am trusting you.” I declare in faith that you are my God, and my future is in your hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
