Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

When I was about 18 one of my friends came and found me at the library where I was studying. He was working in telecommunications and just returned from an expo in a city around 50 miles from where we lived.

“Richard, you are not going to believe this, but I have seen the future of phone. Everyone is going to have mobile phone and, and check this, they’re all going to have cameras on them!”

Ok to put this into some kind of perspective this was the early 1980’s. I had only ever seen a mobile phone of a James Bond movie and that model was larger than two house bricks. That aside I was on the floor with laughter at the thought of anyone buying a phone that had a camera on it. I said these mortal words which have come back to haunt me,

“Why would anyone be crazy enough to buy a camera phone thing? Why wouldn’t they just buy a camera and besides, you’d never be able to fit it in your pocket!”

My friend just shock his head and said ‘mark my words, it’s going to happen!’ And the rest, as they say, is history.

Sometimes I wish I could see into the future, usually it is when I am in a place that is uncomfortable and I need the reassurance to know that things will work out ok. Scripture clearly tells us that God not only does nothing without first having a plan, which he reveals to his prophets, but also He also will provide for us.

See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. Matthew 6: 26-28

Let Jesus be your guide.
