1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. Wouldn’t it be nice to look into the future and know what was going to happen in the next few days or weeks? Then you could prepare for it and maybe even avoid some of the crises that are headed you way. Well, we do not what happens next if we will pay attention to Jesus’ words.
3. Scripture
   1. Rev 4:1
   2. A Voice: Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.
4. Devotional
   1. I like Chinese restaurants
      1. Décor
      2. Food
      3. Fortune cookies
         1. Disappointed if they don’t give them to you at the end of the meal
         2. Usually don’t say anything worthwhile
         3. Always want to see what they say, though
   2. We want to know what’s ahead
      1. Card readers
      2. Palm readers
      3. Fortune tellers
      4. Horoscopes
      5. Astrologers
      6. Psychics and mediums
      7. $2 billion industry
   3. Interesting that not a large percentage of those spending those $2 billion spend much time looking into the book that tells them what the future will really be like
      1. Every prophecy laid out in scripture has come true in its time
      2. Read through the Old Testament and watch all those prophecies come to pass the prophets gave the kings
      3. Red the prophecies about Jesus and see them fulfilled in the New Testament
      4. Now Jesus gives this vision to John as he sits in exile on the Isle of Patmos
      5. If all the other prophecies have come to pass, why wouldn’t we think the things Jesus tells John in this book will not take place?
   4. We want to know the future
      1. It’s good to be prepared for contingencies
      2. It’s good to know a little of what will happen so we’re not surprised
      3. It’s good to know God knows what is happening so we are assured He has everything under control
      4. It’s good to know none of the brokenness that continues to fracture this world shakes the Eternal from His throne
      5. It’s good to know God will stand with us and live in us to help us through the roughest times of life when we give ourselves to Him
   5. We don’t need psychics and mediums, palm readers and fortune cookies to tell us about tomorrow
      1. In plain sight for us if we just read God’s word
      2. He tells us what to expect and how to prepare for it
      3. His book isn’t that long, but making it the volume you go to everyday as your number one self-help book, will certainly change you more than anything else you could do
5. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
