Today’s Reading: John 16:13-17
John 16:13 — When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth, for He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.
God promises the Holy Spirit’s direction. “What am I supposed to do with my life?” Have you ever had this thought? Perhaps as a teenager you thought this while you were studying in school. “What am I supposed to do now?” Maybe you have had this thought after a plan you made failed or you lost your job or a loved one.
The uncertainty of this life can cause us fear and confusion. People want to know the future. Some people will consult fortunetellers in hope to have a glimpse of the future. Some people won’t leave their homes until after they have read their daily horoscope. Some people hire life coaches to advise them what to do. Some people even consult AI.
But the future is not in the stars or a deck of tarot cards. The future is not in the prognostications of professional predictors or digital advisors. The future is in God’s hands. God transcends time and space. God, in His eternal omnipresence, is already in the future. God is the only reliable guide to our futures.
Jesus said that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth who guides people into all the truth. He declares what is to come. The Holy Spirit does not predict what might happen. He is not a fortuneteller. The Spirit knows what will happen and He can give us guidance and direction in what we are supposed to do.
One thing that I know that we are supposed to do in regard to the future is “Fear not.” If you have placed your life in God’s hands, you have nothing to fear. You cannot be separated from His love. God’s love casts out all fear because His love takes care of us, and His love will lead us into all the truth that will guide our decisions about our lives.
With God is in your future, you have nothing to fear.

Holy Spirit shows us through the God’s Word. If we are with His Word, he will direct and guide us to the future. Yes, fear not! my future is in God’s hand! Amen.
