Betting on your future
A few weeks ago the Powerball prize reached the incredible amount of about $1.5 billion. This caused a frenzy with people buying these tickets, with each buyer having the hope of becoming a billionaire.
I guess that those who play the lottery do so with a hope of ensuring their future. But no matter how big the lottery prize is, even if you win it you will be able to do a lot of things, except ensuring your future. Money can make our life easier, but it will not protect you from worries, will not prevent diseases, and won’t deliver you from death.
The only thing that can truly ensure your future is God.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away…Behold, I am making all things new. Also he said, Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true… To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage… – Revelation 21: 4-7
Rich and poor people alike are faced with problems, sadness, illness, and death, but the one who conquers knows that this suffering is only temporary.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. – Romans 8:18
If you want a sure bet for your future, do it by putting all your faith in Jesus.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. – John 3:36
