Fear of the future. Pastor Lee managed to overcome that with faith, passion, and courage. But what about the rest of us? Pastor Lee explained that we don't know our future, but God knows, and God has plans for us. This is where the fear comes in. Trusting God with our future is necessary but difficult because, as humans, we want to have control over our lives. We fear that our future will be hopeless and terrible. I know this because this has been a difficult area for me. What kind of future waits for me? Will it be good or will it be terrible, full of loneliness and rejection?
Only God can see into our future. We don't have anything that can accurately show us a picture of our future. Pastor Lee quoted Jeremiah 29:11, which said, "For surely, I know the plans that I have for you, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope." |

A Chem E pastor...Hmm...
Interesting choices.
From chemical engineering to the ministry. That is quite a change in career. Good for him; many of us don't have the courage to follow our beliefs.
He is really something!
