When we experience uncertainty, we can feel as if something is wrong with us spiritually. The sooner you come to terms with this spiritual reality, the more you'll enjoy the journey. To do otherwise is to end up with a self-absorbed spirituality that leaves you feeling empty. Instead of following the Spirit, you're inviting the Spirit to follow you. Instead of serving God's purposes, you want him to serve your purposes. While this may seem like a subtle distinction, it makes an ocean of difference. Here are your choices: (1) Follow the path of certainty, which keeps you in control but robs you of the adventure God has in mind. (2) Accept the uncertainty of the 'how' and 'when' that comes from following God.
When
it comes to being led by God's Spirit, the operative phrase is 'You can't
explain how.' Even when you have given your best thinking to the problem, the
Bible says, '"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the
Lord. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine"'
(Isaiah 55:8 NLT). So, when you follow God, anything can happen. You never know
who you'll meet, where you'll go, or what you'll do.
In
these times of uncertainty (with tariffs, wars and economic decline), stay
anchored on God and He will carry you through.
