Have you ever read a novel that was so interesting that you couldn’t put it down? There was one that held my attention just like that: The Negotiator by Frederick Forsythe. At a point, I couldn’t handle the suspense again so I quickly turned to the last page to read the end. When I continued reading, I wasn’t as tense as I was before because I knew the end of the story.
Somehow, our life is just like a novel, full of suspense and intrigue, and we want to just flip through the pages quickly. A lot of times, we worry about what’s on the next page of our lives and what’s going to happen in the next chapter of our lives. This usually occurs when things are not going the way we want, and we live in fear of the next day. There is good news: we know the end of the story. Whatever you may be going through now, there is already an end to the story of your life and it is written here:
Watch the perfect and behold the upright one; for the end of that man is peace – Ps 37:37
Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase – Job 8:7
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day – Prov 4:18
I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for – Jer 29:11
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit – Jer 17:7,8
Whatever you are going through at the moment, do not despair; your joy is coming! What you are going through now is happening to make the story of your life an interesting one—a “best seller.” Don’t weep or worry; rather, be expectant because someday you will look back at this moment and really thank God you went through it because you see how it adds up to make you the great person you are. 😊
