like they would have you believe.
God has purposely clouded the
future And anyone who thinks they

happen with any degree of certainty

prove to be a false prophet
The future isn't ours to see It
should be left in the hands of God
Instead of worrying about the
future and trying to find someone
who claims to have the key to the
future, we need to turn the future
over to God - and begin enjoying the
present. Forget what mistakes you
made in the past and don’t be overly
concerned about the future. Live for
today and you'll be much happier
The only thing that Christians
need to know about 1990 and the
years after that is that it is totally in
God’s hands And that everything
will work out for the best for those
who put their trust in the Lord.
"We know that all things work
together for good to those who love
God" (Romans 8:28).
Instead of being filled with fear
and self-doubt, we can learn to have
confidence in ourselves and in our i
God who will fight our battles in life
and make things work out for the i
best
Instead of constantly complaining
about our financial problems or our
aches and pains, we need to
concentrate on our many blessings 4
They are all around us if we will only :
open our eyes and see them
Also, we need to realize that
problems don’t necessarily have to
make us feel unhappy. It’s a matter
of attitude. If we learn to accept
those things as a challenge we will
learn to overcome our problems with
the help of God rather than let them
get us down
In Galatians 6:7 we read, "What-

If we learn to act happy, we will be
