Uncertainty
Is “uncertainty” a word that describes part of your experience these days? I find the disruption of these last two years has introduced the unpredictable in ways that can be unsettling and “uncertain."
In times like this, I find the image of "journey" in the Christian life to be helpful.
Journeys involve movement, twists and turns, interruptions and delays, and, if you’re like me, you might even get lost from time to time.
God called Abram onto a journey with the words, “leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you." No specific address, timeline, day planner, or anything…just go on a journey.
What did Abram know for sure?
- I will bless you
- You will be a blessing
Leaving our comfort and journeying with God can be filled with uncertainty. I am praying for all of us who feel unsettled and uncertain today. May the Lord who loves taking us on a journey, remind us of what we can know for sure and allow us a trusting rest in the promises he has made.
