"Gracious Uncertainty"
6 May
One of my all time favorite devotion books is Oswald Chamber’s My Utmost for His Highest. I have many times been quiet convinced that pages have been divinely rearranged depending on certain circumstances I am dealing with. For instance…one of the days I was out and about in Jackson (see video below) looking for a place to live for the next ‘not sure how many’ months… began with this.
“Gracious Uncertainty”
Our natural way is to always try to forecast accurately what will happen next and we look at uncertainty as a bad thing. But when we allow God to be our Source we can be certain in our uncertainty. To be certain of God means that as we may not know what tomorrow may bring…instead of sighing with discontent it should be with an expression of breathless expectation.
As soon as we abandon ourselves to God, He begins to fill our lives with surprises. When we can let go and just Trust Him, our life can be full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy.
May the God of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
WOW!

So true!!!! And boy have George and I not learned to truly trust in God with all we have been through – and not once has He failed us! Y’all continue to be in our prayers!!! Love you dearly!!!!!!!
AWESOME post! I’ve found the same thing to be true with moving as much as we do. It becomes something we joyfully and expectantly wait for and not another dreaded change. I love what he says about it being “an expression of breathless expectation.” Well said.
