When asked which way she was facing, the
Queen at first said she would need to think about it…but soon she said clearly
and with great conviction: “I am facing outwards…what I see in the picture is
my past and it is behind me. My future, known only to God, lies before me…outside
the picture.” I believe she is right. While we can look back over our lives and
see the path that that God has taken us – and though we can scrutinise that
path and observe the Lord’s presence with us along the way – we simply cannot
see one millisecond ahead of us. Our future is known only to God, and so it
wise to leave it in His hands.

So here’s my question: If the future is
known only to God, why do we fret over tomorrow? If we look back over our lives
and see His constant presence with us, why do we look forward into the future
as if He is somehow absent?
