"Your Future is BRIGHT!"

"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord."
Jeremiah 29:11
The true follower of Christ has an aweful lot to look forward to.  Their future is literally...GUARANTEED!  Indeed, Jeremiah 29:11 goes on to tell us that these plans that God has for all who seek Him are plans that include "well-being," "hope," and "the fulfillment of the desires of our hearts" (see Psalm 37:4).

Not only is God committed to our future well-being, He literally "delights" in it.  The Bible reveals to us that God "delights to give good gifts to His children," and "No good thing does God withhold from those who walk uprightly in Him" (see Matthew 7:13; Psalm 84:11).
And as if that weren't enough, our hope is applicable to both this life and the
life to come.  Consider the following:  Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is
no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel's sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life."
When the great Bible character Abraham died, the scripture assures us that he died, "Well satisfied with life" (see Genesis 25:7).  I love that, don't you?  What an assurance!  What a hope!
 INDEED!  Our future looks awefully BRIGHT!
