Look to the Future, Not the Pit
Scripture: John 14:1 — “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.”
Too often, we dwell on the hardships we have endured. We replay our mistakes, regrets, or pain, as if looking backward will change anything. Joseph’s life teaches us a different way: the pit is not the destination. God calls us to look forward.
Faith is trusting that God is always present, guiding us even through darkness. When Joseph was sold into slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned, God was with him. Step by step, God led him toward the palace. In the same way, God walks with us, moving us from difficulty to blessing, from sorrow to joy.
We are invited to focus on tomorrow, to let go of the past, and to trust in God’s plan. Even when circumstances seem overwhelming, God is always up to something good. Our future holds the key, and our hearts are safe in God’s hands.
Prayer: Loving God, help us lift our eyes from the pit and look to the future you have prepared. Fill us with hope, joy, and courage as we trust your guidance. Amen.
