"The world is ending so why bother planning for college or a future career"
How it sounds in your head: Everyone's talking about Revelation and end times. Why am I stressing about college applications when Jesus could come back tomorrow? Maybe I should just coast and wait for the rapture instead of building anything.
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
-- Jeremiah 29:11Enemy wants to steal her future by making urgency about escape instead of occupation until He comes.
Social media is full of prophecy accounts showing wars and rumors of wars, making it feel like we're in the final countdown. Adults keep saying 'these are the last days' so planning ahead feels naive.
Noah built a massive ark for 120 years while everyone mocked him about the end coming. God didn't say 'just wait around,' He said 'BUILD' - and that building SAVED his entire family and gave him massive influence in the new world.
I REFUSE the lie that planning my future is pointless because the world is ending. IT IS WRITTEN that God has thoughts of peace toward me, to give me a FUTURE and a HOPE. My Father doesn't promise futures He won't deliver. IT IS WRITTEN that I am blessed coming in and going out, in the city and in the field - that's PRESENT AND FUTURE blessing. I am Abraham's seed by covenant, heir according to PROMISE. Whether Jesus comes tomorrow or in fifty years, I build in faith and the blessing follows me. I am the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath, in every season.
Your Father is running toward you with PLANS - good plans, hope-filled plans, future plans. He's not waiting for the world to end; He's waiting to partner with you to build Kingdom influence in whatever time remains, whether that's a week or a lifetime.
