The Beatles
For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
In 1962 a recording company expert said, "We don't think the Beatles will do anything in their market. Guitar groups are on their way out."
Obviously that
recording company could not look into the future and see the enormous
success the Beatles would have. If they could, they would have signed
them to their label immediately. Instead, they let the fear of the unknown hold them back from taking part in one of the world's most popular and, no doubt, most lucrative music groups.
As Christians,
though, as we look down the road and cannot see what the future holds,
we don't have to let the fear of the unknown hold us back from
participating in the opportunity of a lifetime. We are blessed to have
a God who knows what lies ahead, and we can trust Him because the Bible
tells us He plans to give us a future and a hope. All we have to do is
live according to His Word, leave the details up to Him, and allow Him
to guide us into His will.
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith.
