Uncertainties of life

Unless you have your head in the sand, you know that these are uncertain times we're living.  When life feels uncertain, it's easy to doubt that God is really with us.  But Biblical history proves over and over again that the same God that is with us during the good times, is with us during the bad times also.

Uncertainty is a difficult thing to bear.  In this age we live in, we're always wanting to know the outcome of things.  When will I get the promotion?  When will my child get well?  How do I know the right time to switch careers? 

But Jesus commands all who are to be His disciples to be able to bear uncertainty.  This is where trust comes in.  If we can't trust God with the little things, like waking up, walking, talking, seeing, then how are we going to be able to trust Him with our future?

There are going to be times in our lives when we don't know where the provision is going to come from.  The detailed plans you made seem to be crumbling before you.  People will disappoint you or reject your help.  Don't let these circumstances paralyze you with fear.  Jesus wants these things to motivate us to prayer. 

I know in my own life when I'm in the middle of an uncertain season, this is when God moves in and demonstrates His power and guidance and love.

So, take heart and know that if you're experiencing one of those seasons of uncertainty, that God acts for those who wait for Him.

Psalm 46:1 – "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
