      Our inability to see our future circumstances is shown in this verse (Philippians 2:23). For us, living outside of the scriptures is a dark unknown. It is a miracle that any of us got saved. We are all unique in some way. When dealing with God and there is something you don't know, you can use that ignorance. Nonetheless, we need to learn that we are insignificant nothings. You need to realize how little you know when you run into a wall of ignorance. Ignorance can help you beware of presumptions. We are to cast not our works, but our cares upon God. You just do what you are supposed to do, but the actual outcome of a thing we don't know. −You just do your duty.

      Not knowing the future, you should pray without ceasing. When you don't know something, it makes you talk to God. In which, “ignorance can educate you.” Regardless of the uncertainty, you can be encouraged. It is good not to be able to see everything that God has for us. God knows your future and is your friend and is concerned with your happiness...

      The more you know of a thing, the more it tends to cross over into sorrow. Your ignorance will only take place in this time. “Thank God” that He has limited your knowledge of future events. Not knowing the future teaches us that God takes care of us. We should not set our hearts or plan on anything which we cannot expect God's guidance. Not knowing the future, you can trust God. You've got to learn to trust God. It contributes to so much happiness in this life.
