A businessman was permitted to have one wish come true. After some thought he wished for a newspaper dated two years in the future. Miraculously the paper was put in his hand. Turning to the stock reports, he made careful notes on stocks that had shown unusual growth. He would certainly make a fortune! Then out of curiosity he looked through the paper and found his own name in the obituary column. He had suffered a heart attack, and his funeral arrangements were spelled out in detail there before him.

We are tempted at times to believe that if we could only look into the future, things would be different. What is around the corner? God is, and he has promised that his presence will be constantly with us and that his grace will be sufficient for every time of need. Our times are in his hands.
