Fortune Telling: The Distortion of Telling the Future

When we face situations where we think failure is inevitable, we can become so caught up in our emotions that we focus only on the catastrophe ahead. However, no one is a fortune teller, and by getting caught up in fear, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to build towards a better future. Instead, when faced with such situations, we can start by recognizing that our emotional swings are normal and that God will be with us regardless of our fears. Then, we can shift from doubt about the future to faith in the future. It may not be easy, but with practice, we'll become quicker and better at doing so. In this way, we can move beyond our fears, because, after all, God can make even the seemingly impossible possible.
