The future is unknown but yet certain

Matthew 6

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Yet people worry about everything they can think of. The future is unpredictable. Worrying about a lot of things; going through trials slowly one by one with nothing but despair. I don't know about you but I seriously wonder what Job must be thinking of at this moment in time when facing these obstacles.

Naked I come to this world
Naked I leave it.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
May the name of the LORD be praised."

None of this is mine, but it is the Lord who provides for me. Yet, while he is being cursed and trialed day by day, not once did he strike the lord or wronged Him. Looking back, I can't say that I have never wronged the Lord. Neither can I say that I have walked in faith with him. There have been times I am so frustrated I just left Him. But yet like the shepard he leaves all His other sheep and finds the one thats lost.

I know the future is unpredictable but its not uncertain.

I just leave one last message....
We love Him cause He loved us first.
