Trust Him: He Knows Where You Are Going!

"And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side." (Mark 4: 35)

I have written about this verse and the passage which follows a number of times.

It is not enough for us to know where we are going.

Yet even then, we should at least respect our Lord and Savior for telling us where we are headed.

We can have a confident expectation of good in all that He endeavors for us to do.

"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14: 12)

and

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13: 5)

and also

"1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.' (1 John 3: 1-3)

We know that we have passed from death to life, too!

"We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." (1 John 3: 14)

In the last book, we know that a New Jerusalem, under a Perfect King, awaits us, too:

"1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 22: 1-5)

We do not have to wonder where He is taking us. The Promised Land is already laid before us. We just need to trust Him to take us through.
