What next?
'... Do not worry about tomorrow ...' Matthew 6:34
It's really easy to start to panic as you get a little bit older, thinking about the future. 'What on earth am I going to do with my life?' 'Will I ever find that special someone who makes my heart go aflutter?' (Yes, even you lads; we know you think about it really!) 'What if I get really ill; what will I do then?' 'Will I be able to get a job?' 'Will I have any friends?' 'Will I have enough money?'
All those things are perfectly normal things to think about; but here's the deal. You don't have to worry about it. At all. Finito. Stop. Seriously; I mean it! God says '...Do not worry about tomorrow ...' and He means it. He has got everything (yep, even that question that you've not even asked your best mate) under control. God's plan for your life doesn't stop five minutes ago, or even in five minutes time; it goes on, right until the end of your life. And get this; it's a perfect plan.
As planners go, God's the best. Let Him be your life-coach, trust that He's in control, know that He knows your questions and He's got them in hand. Read 2 Corinthians 9:8 'all things, at all times'; that applies to you too! Relax, knowing that God 'will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:19 NIV).
