Our Future

   We are quickly approaching a new millenium in just a few short months.  As the dawning of a new millenium approaches, many people are predicting all sorts of calamity.  People talk about the Y2K problems and its fallout.  Others point at economic collapses, ecological disasters, rises in crime, and food shortages.  Yet, the future is uncertain.  Even careful scholars are often wrong when it comes to the future.  According to sociologist Seymore Martin-Lipset, more than 65 percent of all forecasts issued by social scientists from 1945 through 1980 were faulty.  

   As we approach this new millenium, believers everywhere should be in prayer and alert to the changes going on around us.  We can sing confidently "I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future."  It is our God.  As God instructed Daniel "But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.  Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."  Let us be devoted as the year goes by to going to God's Word for wisdom and guidance, because He holds the future.
