God’s Promises for Your Future
God promises that your future is held in good hands: His plans for you are for peace, and He goes before you into every tomorrow.
You cannot see what lies ahead, but God can, and He promises that His thoughts toward you are of peace and hope, to give you a future worth waiting for.
He promises to go before you, to direct your steps, and to work all things together for good. The road may be uncertain, but the One who walks it with you is not.
What God promises, in His own words

How this points to Jesus
Because Jesus rose, we know how the story ends, in life, not death. All God's promises about your future are secured in Christ, who holds tomorrow and has prepared a place for you. You can step into the unknown, because He is already there.
