my future..”
This is a normal feeling
because humans crave for
certainty and security.

BUT there is a reason why
God does not give us a full
map..

9. Your Logo or Name Here
We can’t have the full
map because..
It would scare us to death
if we knew all the
challenges and risks ahead
of us!
If we knew the future, we
wouldn’t depend on God
who holds the future..
God illuminates one step at
a time

“Why is this happening”?
11DEVOTION
9 But he said to me, “My grace is
sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness.” Therefore
I will boast all the more gladly about
my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power
may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I
delight in weaknesses, in insults,
in hardships, in persecutions, in
difficulties. For when I am weak,
then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Admit your weakness,
and He will reveal His
strength to you.

VERSE:
Romans 5:3-4

12. “Why me?”
It is because I sinned?
Are you against me?
Is cancer a punishment?
Is the pandemic a punishment?
Does God authorize our suffering
because we haven’t been faithful
to Him?
It’s not a cause-and
-effect policy. That’s
not how God
operates.

So.. Why you?
Psalms 103:10
DEVOTION
Isaiah 41:9
John 15:16
10 He does not
treat us as our
sins deserve
or repay us
according to
our iniquities.
9 I took you from
the ends of the
earth, from its
farthest corners I
called you.
I said, ‘You are my
servant’; I have
chosen you and
have not rejected
you.
16 You did not
choose me, but I
chose you and
appointed you so
that you might go
and bear fruit—fruit
that will last—and
so that whatever
you ask in my
name the Father
will give you.

Isaiah 41:10
Isaiah 40:28-31
28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the
everlasting God,
the Creator of the
ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or
weary,
and his understanding
no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to
the weary
and increases the
power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow
tired and weary,
and young
men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in
the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like
eagles;
they will run and not grow
weary,
they will walk and not be
faint.
