## Title: God Gives Us A Future ## Scripture: (Zechariah 2:4) and said to him, “Hurry, speak to this young man as follows: ‘Jerusalem will no longer be enclosed by walls because of the multitude of people and animals there. (NET) ## Observation: Many times it seems we have to hit rock bottom before we come to the Lord or return home. In the story of the prodigal son, I think most of us identify more with the son who left than the one who stayed. Then, when we return home, we are expecting the pieces to never fit back together again. We expect that nothing will ever be good again. This is not true. While it is true that things will not be the same, the Lord has a new adventure and a new hope for us. Yes, what was may never be the same again. However, the Lord is the Author of new things, new days, and new mercies for every morning. ## Application: How can God turn your current situation into something new if you turn wholeheartedly to Him? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always having good plans for us.
