An inviting future

Just as water fills the sea, the land will be filled with people who know and honor the Lord. ~ Isaiah 11:9b (CEV)

God himself was pleased to live fully in his Son. And God was pleased for him to make peace by sacrificing his blood on the cross, so that all beings in heaven and on earth would be brought back to God. ~ Colossians 1:19-20 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
The future God is making looks inviting.
PRAYER:
God, you are busy remaking creation -- restoring peace, reconciling humanity to yourself... It all looks bright and wonderful. Help me to live in light of the future and to not get so discouraged by the problems of the present. When I let things get to me I'm not trusting you. But I am going to look at things in light of your promised future. Amen.
