Trust through uncertainty

Sometimes most of the time, life is filled with uncertainty. I know for sure mine is, and I know that a lot of my friends are dealing with situations with unsure destinations. Trust. How can we apply that to a foggy future? How can we step out one foot at a time without really seeing where we are going? It goes against all our instincts. We are logical, thinking people who rely on common-sense when we make decisions. I read a devotional today that really helped me see this from a different perspective.

"Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life: gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God."I love that! He is so faithful, so dependable, always thinking of us with love; we can be certain of Him and who He is.

When we follow a religion/creed, are we believing God or our own beliefs? If we can abandon the hold on our beliefs, and tighten our hold on Him; if we can allow ourselves to become like children, accept the uncertainty of our future, and TRUST Him...then we can have a life of spontaneous joy and expectancy. Because He is an amazing God. He loves to delight us with Him, and with His gifts to us. It is always beautifully uncertain How he will move, but we can rest assured at the right time He will. It'll blow our minds. 

Stick with Him through the uncertainty. Keep your face turned to Him. "Those who look to Him are radiant, their faces are never covered in shame." (Ps. 34:5) The Message bible puts it like this: "Look at him; give him your warmest smile. Never hide your feelings from him." 

Be certain: He is working things out for you- you don't have to carry your burden alone, He goes before you, follows behind you, and carries you through the hardest places. And nothing, nothing can change that. I pray that these truths resonate deep within our hearts and souls as we learn to trust Him even when it's foggy ahead.
