Have you ever felt like life was moving so fast you could barely catch your breath? Or perhaps you've experienced that nagging anxiety about what tomorrow might bring? Today's devotional speaks directly to that universal human experience of uncertainty.

Drawing from Psalm 31:15, we explore the profound comfort found in the declaration "my future is in your hands." These words, written by someone being relentlessly hunted and pursued, offer a remarkable perspective shift for anyone feeling overwhelmed by life's pressures. Whether you're running from actual enemies or just the constant demands of modern living—deadlines, financial stress, relationship challenges—this timeless wisdom reminds us we're not merely drifting through life but being intentionally carried.

The beauty of this psalm lies in its honest acknowledgment of difficulty coupled with unwavering trust. Your timeline isn't random. Your purpose isn't accidental. Your protection isn't dependent solely on your own strength. Even when circumstances feel like they're unraveling around you, your future remains securely held by the One who created the stars yet knows you by name. Today, release the weight of tomorrow from your shoulders and remember whose hands are guiding your journey.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.394
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.394 --> 00:00:08.762
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.762 --> 00:00:13.653
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.653 --> 00:00:19.484
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.484 --> 00:00:21.070
Let's get started.

00:00:21.070 --> 00:00:28.027
Today is Day 199, held through every season.

00:00:28.728 --> 00:00:36.085
From Psalm 31, verse 15, from the New Living Translation my future is in your hands.

00:00:36.085 --> 00:00:39.633
Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.

00:00:39.633 --> 00:00:48.192
Sometimes life moves so fast that it's hard to catch your breath, let alone think clearly about what's ahead.

00:00:48.192 --> 00:00:59.152
The future can feel exciting or terrifying, sometimes both, but Psalm 3115 gives us something solid to stand on in any season.

00:00:59.152 --> 00:01:01.746
My future is in your hands.

00:01:01.746 --> 00:01:05.049
That means your timeline isn't random.

00:01:05.049 --> 00:01:08.227
Your next step up isn't to chance.

00:01:08.227 --> 00:01:16.611
Your purpose, your provision, your protection, it's all being held by the same God who made the stars and knows you by name.

00:01:16.611 --> 00:01:26.308
Even when enemies surround or anxiety creeps in or life feels like it's unraveling, your future hasn't slipped out of his hands.

00:01:26.308 --> 00:01:29.906
You're not drifting, you're being carried.

00:01:31.248 --> 00:01:33.653
The psalmist wrote this from a place of distress.

00:01:33.653 --> 00:01:37.486
He was being hunted, chased, worn down.

00:01:37.486 --> 00:01:45.710
Maybe you're not running from enemies, but maybe you're running from fears, from deadlines, from pressure you never asked for.

00:01:45.710 --> 00:01:52.953
Even so, your future is still safe, still secure, still in his hands.

00:01:52.953 --> 00:01:59.632
So today, take a deep breath and remember the weight of tomorrow doesn't belong on your shoulders.

00:01:59.632 --> 00:02:05.971
You are held by the one who already knows what's ahead and has already made a way through it.

00:02:05.971 --> 00:02:10.182
Pray with me, father God.

00:02:10.182 --> 00:02:12.409
Thank you that my future is not up to me.

00:02:12.409 --> 00:02:17.969
It's in your hands, hands that are steady, wise and full of love.

00:02:17.969 --> 00:02:37.866
Help me to let go of fear and trust that you are writing my story with purpose and grace In Jesus' precious name, amen.

00:02:37.866 --> 00:02:40.419
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
