Our Best Days Are Ahead of Us

By Joe Cephus Bingham Sr.

Life’s journey is filled with seasons—some joyful, others challenging. Yet through every valley and victory, one truth remains unshakable: our best days are not behind us—they are still to come.

When we walk with God, every challenge becomes a stepping stone toward growth, and every trial becomes a testimony of His faithfulness. No matter what you’ve been through, God’s plan for your life is still unfolding—and it’s greater than you can imagine.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)

Trusting God’s Timing

In moments of uncertainty, it’s tempting to look back with regret or forward with fear. But faith teaches us to look upward—with hope. God doesn’t waste our pain; He uses it to refine our character and prepare us for His promises.

When we choose to trust God’s timing, we learn that delays are not denials. His plans may take longer than we expect, but they are always worth the wait. As Romans 8:28 reminds us, “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him.”

Our job is not to figure out the how—it’s to stay faithful while He works out the why.

Faith Over Fear

Every believer faces seasons of doubt or discouragement. But faith overcomes fear when we remember that God is still in control. The same God who opened the Red Sea and raised Jesus from the dead is the same God guiding you today.

Faith means walking even when we can’t see the next step, believing that what’s ahead will reflect God’s goodness and glory.

If you’ve ever questioned your purpose or wondered whether your best days are behind you, remember this: God is not finished with you yet.

Hope Renewed Each Morning

Every sunrise carries a promise of renewal. As Lamentations 3:22–23 says,

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”

No matter how dark the night has been, morning always comes. God’s grace meets us with fresh strength, new opportunities, and unshakable hope.
