For the second time, the stories from a village in Africa have driven me to find strength and hope in uncertain days. But I didn’t think I’d be speaking to myself; preparing myself for what would happen in the next few days.
After an incredibly refreshing (and exciting) long weekend in the sunshine state, I was welcomed home with the news no one wants to hear. The company I work for is closing it’s doors. This Friday, Iwill be added to the statistic of an ever growing state of difficulty in our economy.
But for one of the first times in my life after receiving life changing news, I’m upbeat about it. Though the days ahead will again, be tough; I’m excited for them to begin because I know greater things are yet to come.
I read on April 29, in the most brilliant writing of Oswald Chambers’,
My Utmost for His Highest:
“To be certain of God mean that we are uncertain in all our ways. We do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should be rather an expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next steps, but we are certain of God. When we are rightly related to God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainity and expectancy. Leave the whole thing to Him, it is gloriously uncertain how He will come in, but He will come. Remain loyal to Him.”
I am not uncertain of God, but uncertain of what He will do next.
