The Puzzle of the Future

There are questions that makes me reflect about life and everything as a whole. Talking about our inner curiosity, there are a lot of things that makes me ask questions and search for answers within myself, out of all the things I would really get curious of, the future is the one that concerns me the most.

Most times, I do wish I could have supernatural powers to see ahead and know what would happen in future. If I can see ahead of me now, I guess some mistakes I have made would have never happened.

Some times I would always sit and wonder about my life, who will I finally become?, what if I am not in the right path? What if I have made the wrong choices that will affect me in the future? What will my future really look like? Where will I find myself ten years from now? Will I live the life of my dreams or will I be found wandering and doing a lot of trials and error?

All these questions make me think a lot more about what lies ahead, it makes me scared of holding onto some things and people, as well as letting go of them, it gives me worries.

The future seems so uncertain and it is a practical example of living every day and walking in faith with the hope that some day, the future will be much greater and better than today.

But from what I have seen so far and what I have heard from learnt from elderly people is that no matter how much we plan, no matter how careful we get, no matter how aligned we think we are, things sometimes and some how might not always go as planned, we can’t always plan enough for the future and so we live in faith, hope for the best while still expecting the worst too.

Thinking about the future might sometimes instill some inner fears in us and that is why we as Christians live by faith, we ray every day for God to guide us in making the right decision, in choosing what is right over the dopamine rush of the present.

No matter how curious I tend to be about the future, I still believe that God owns the answer to it all, He practically designed life to be like a puzzle and a very unforeseen one so we could solve the puzzle every day while still learning and growing along side our mistakes.

God understands better why he made the future so unpredictable, I personally think that if perhaps the future is certain and predictable then life would not be fun, we won’t grow and learn. But amidst my curiosity, I still hope for the best and with God’s direction life this life puzzle will be a lot easier to solve.
