Future is in His Hands

Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions. — Ecclesiastes 7:10

The only thing we get by spending our time looking in the rear view mirror is a big disaster in our front windshield! Our best days as Christians are always ahead. Jesus has promised to return and take us home to God — what better future could there be. So let's not get distracted with nostalgic cynicism. We can thank God for his past blessings, but let's not waste the present with pessimism. Let's make a commitment to redeem our time and trust that the same God who raised Jesus from the dead also holds our future in his hands.

Events after the Millennium 

Mt 25:46
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Mk 12:40
They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely

Questions in 2 Chronicles 

32:4
Thus many people gathered together who stopped all the springs and the brook that ran through the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?

32:10
Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: ‘In what do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?

32:11
Does not Hezekiah persuade you to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, “The Lord our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria”?

Thought 

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  To these I commit my day.  If I succeed, I will give thanks.  If I fail, I will seek his grace.  And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest. - Max Lucado
