"I know not what the future holds.But I know Who holds the future."

Sealed Answers
Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them."
~ Revelation 10:4 (NKJV)
I wonder why the Lord sealed up what the seven thunders said, but still told us that they said something.
I wonder lots of things.
Lord, how much longer before Your return? (Surely the world is too evil for God to tolerate much longer.)
Will You really rapture us before the Great Tribulation? (I want to believe that.) Or will we experience both tribulation and The Tribulation before You return as a thief and steal us away before the Wrath? (Best to be ready for either and stay tight with Jesus.)
The Lord has chosen to reveal many things, and to seal up other things. We all have questions about the future. He reminds us over and over to not be anxious about tomorrow.
Sufficient the trouble for today.
When it’s not possible to pray for all I need, what should I pray for most?
How do I experience Your rest when I live with the tension of being suspended between accepting Your will and engaging my will with You—being willing to have hope but not expectation? How do I keep caring enough without caring too much?
These are questions I still hope to have answered. Do you have questions with no answer? Do you have questions you keep asking in hope for one?
LORD, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
~ Psalms 131:1-2 (NKJV)
