Rhema Word #2: A Certain Uncertainty

Oswald Chambers calls it a "certain uncertainty." It is that state of faith in which we are certain God can solve and resolve everything even as we find ourselves in a state of suspended animation, that place of uncertainty where we are unsure as to just how, and when, God will solve or resolve our stuff.

We want to know everything about our future, the who, what, where, why, when and how of our lives. We live in a perpetual state of anxiety as we try to peer into into our futures with the notion that we can wrestle it into submission to our will and expectations.

Let's just think about this for a moment. If we can trust our eternity to the sacrifice of one man through the behest of a heavenly Father who loved and loves us beyond our wildest imaginations and now that we are sealed to the day of redemption, can we not also trust that same Godhead with our future, with the rest of our lives? Isn't the promise of all things working together for our good more than enough?

Chambers writes: ". . . When we have the right relationship with God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy . . . Leave everything to Him and it will be gloriously and graciously uncertain how He will come in -- but you can be certain that He will come. Remain faithful to Him."

It is glorious, indeed!
