Future

Then God said, "Shall I keep back from Abraham what I'm about to do? Abraham is going to become a large and strong nation; all the nations of the world are going to find themselves blessed through him. Yes, I've settled on him as the one to train his children and future family to observe God's way of life, live kindly and generously and fairly, so that God can complete in Abraham what he promised him."

“In the distant future, when you are suffering all these things, you will finally return to the Lord your God and listen to what he tells you.

King David went in, took his place before God, and prayed: "Who am I, my Master God, and what is my family, that you have brought me to this place in life? But that's nothing compared to what's coming, for you've also spoken of my family far into the future, given me a glimpse into tomorrow, my Master God! What can I possibly say in the face of all this? You know me, Master God, just as I am. You've done all this not because of who I am but because of who you are—out of your very heart!—but you've let me in on it.

"And now, in this public place, all Israel looking on and God listening in, as God's people, obey and study every last one of the commandments of your God so that you can make the most of living in this good land and pass it on intact to your children, insuring a good future.

Don't for a minute envy careless rebels; soak yourself in the Fear-of-God— That's where your future lies.

Genesis 18:17 Deuteronomy 4:30 2 Samuel 7:18 1 Chronicles 28:8 Proverbs 23:17

Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be. Job 8:7
