God knows the end of the story - our story. We don't know what the next chapter or even the next page holds. Sometimes when I get a new book I'm tempted to flip to the back in order to catch a glimpse at the ending. Or if I'm deeply engrossed in the plot and it looks like the good guy or the main character might be in danger I'll quickly scan to the end of the chapter to make sure good triumphs over evil. Is that cheating?
Oh, that we could do that with our own lives. Just to be able to fast forward a month or a year to have that assurance that our families will remain healthy, that our paychecks will simply remain, and that our relationships will grow and not wither. Just a peek to see if danger is lurking around the corner and, if so, will the hero come and save the day.
The One who formed the world also wrote the Book. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last (the Before all and the End of all), Revelation
If you have asked Christ Jesus into your heart, to forgive you of your sins and to become the Lord and Savior of your very life, then you can rest assured that His thoughts for you are now for peace and hope and for a future. No more will you have to hide from God and fear every shadow in every corner. You are not here haphazardly because two cells crashed into each other. The Maker of the universe, the Author of the book, the Beginning of all and the End of all put you here at this exact moment in time for a specific purpose and plan. What ever chapter in life you happen to be in, you can be absolutely certain that the Hero of the story defeats the villain and the two of you live happily ever after for all eternity.
