ENCOURAGEMENT FOR TODAY- Are you Uncertain of the future?
I get it. I am a Choleric temperament and I prefer tasks and plans. Uncertainty is scary and feels so uncontrollable in my life. However, I was so encouraged by my reading today in Oswald Chambers, “Utmost for His Highest” which reminded me that my life is supposed to be uncertain yet certain in Him.
“The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainly. …Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life – gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, not knowing what tomorrow may bring. …When we become simply a promoter or a defender of a particular belief, something within us dies. That is not believing God – it is only believing our belief about Him. Jesus said, “Unless you…become as little children” (Matthew 18:3)”
If you are feeling scared, uncertain, a bit crazy, doubting yourself, and wondering why you seem to be in a holding pattern, not only are you exactly where the Lord wants you, but you are in the center of His will and way.
Be encouraged.
Take care,
Charlotte
