Matthew 24:36-37
But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
Yesterday, February 2nd, was celebrated as Groundhog Day. In the Northern Hemisphere, we are still almost seven weeks away from spring. Groundhog Day has become a good-natured way of breaking up the harsh reality of a frigid winter. Here in the U.S., Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, celebrates this day to the extreme. A groundhog is removed from the burrow, where it has supposedly been all winter. If it’s cloudy, Punxsutawney Phil won’t see his shadow, indicating it will be an early spring—if he sees his shadow, there will be seven more weeks of winter. RIGHT!
Basically, we humans want to know what is in the future. It causes me to shudder when I see people reading a horoscope from the newspaper to try to determine what their day holds. That stuff is poison to believers and should be avoided at all costs.
I am told that call-in psychic hotlines are kept busy spewing out bogus readings about what the future holds for the caller. If they are so accurate, why are they not able to determine what their own future holds?
The Lord knows what our future holds, and He alone is causing all things to work for our good and His glory. Our part in this is to trust and obey. There is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. Sounds like a song!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
