\\ *YOUR FUTURE AND GOD'S FAITHFULNESS*
*/Freedom From Your Fears - Part 2/*
In dealing with our fears it's often helpful to label them so you kind of know what you're dealing with.
This week I did some research and found the technical terms for many of your fears that you turned in.
Agoraphobia -- fear of open spaces.
One of you wrote down that you had Angoraphobia.
I think that's a fear of a soft fuzzy sweater.
Claustrophobia -- fear of being stuck in an elevator.
But there is also a Catastrophobia which is the fear of being stuck in a Sunday school class with no curriculum!
Zoophobia -- fear of animals.
But there is also a Barneyphobia which is the fear of purple animals.
Only you who are parents of preschoolers will get this one.
Habibaphobia -- fear you're loosing your hair.
Tonyaphobia -- fear that someone will bash you in the knees.
Royaphobia -- fear of forgetting an announcement.
Today we're going to look at one that's very serious.
It's the number one fear that's the fear of the future.
The theme verse I've chosen for this message and for this series is Psalm 34:4 /"I sought the Lord and He answered me.
He delivered me from all my fears."/
Circle "the Lord".
It says "I sought the Lord" not a therapy, not a technique, but the Lord.
And /"He delivered me from all my fears."/
Why are we afraid of the future?
One reason is we don't know what it's going to bring.
It's an unknown.
Even our best forecasts are educated guesses.
Nobody really knows what's going to happen in the future.
Mankind can transplant livers, program computers, send men to the moon, you may have an incredible IQ, you may have a PhD, LSD, everything but you don't know what's going to happen in the future.
I don't care how smart you are it's just an educated guess.
On top of that it's uncontrollable.
We try to control the future through our worry and fears but it doesn't work.
*I.
FACTS ABOUT MY FUTURE*
So what does the Bible say about your future?
It says three things about your future, God says.
*1. God knows everything that's going to happen.
*
Hebrews 4:13 /"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before His eyes."/
God can see it all.
God is not limited by time.
God can be in the past, the present and the future all at the same time.
He can see it all at once.
For instance, if I were able to take you up in a blimp and you were to look down on the Street you could see the beginning of the Street, the middle of the Street and the end of the Street all at once.
But the person down on earth could only see what was in front of him at that particular time.
Likewise from God's perspective He can see it all.
There is nothing hidden.
He knows everything that's going to happen to you because He's already in the future as well as already in the past.
That means that God is never surprised by anything.
He'll never say, "Oh really?
I never expected that to happen!" or "Ooophs!" because He always knows what's going to happen.
