. . . it has not yet been revealed what we shall be . . . —1 John 3:2
Oswald Chambers- 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.
The end of last year I found myself with a injury to my Achilles heal. (Its slightly torn so I opted for non-surgery)
I didn't know this was going to happen when I said yes to going to The World Race. I know this is not a punishment or that God let this happen to me so He can teach me something. How ever it is teaching me where my heart is with Him.
I find myself wanting to push the ones I have developed deep relationships with away and shutting down my emotions, because I think “it easier then trying to communicate to them my feelings”. Which in essence I am closing my heart to God. My reactions to the injury is to act it out in my relationships with the ones closest to me. If this is true, how close am I to Jesus?.
This is what I have seen God reveal in me, that my lack of trust to come to Him. I should know this by now that He can handle my emotions that they do not hinder His love for me. Yet the grace of His majesty calmly weighs in as light of the morning dew over the horizon kisses the spring flowers good morning. God is so gentle in bringing us back to the root of faith Jesus said “. . . unless you . . . become as little children . . .” (Matthew 18:3 ). The spiritual life is of a child.
Oswald Chambers-We are not uncertain of God, just uncertain of what He is going to do next. If our certainty is only in our beliefs, we develop a sense of self-righteousness, become overly critical, and are limited by the view that our beliefs are complete and settled.
If I have the right relationship with God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy. Jesus said, “. . . believe also in Me” (John 14:1 ), not, “Believe certain things about Me”.
Whether it’s my leg being injured or my inability to express my feelings to God. Being certain in Gods plan in my life allows me to experience the place I am at in my life now, I don't know what tomorrow will bring "for tomorrow will worry about its own things. "… Matthew 6:43 . Still remaining faithful to Him no matter how many people pray for the healing of my leg and at the moment I am unable to walk away with out the boot off my leg, that He is healing it. Knowing I can come to Father God as a child is Sooo Powerful. He cares about our emotions and can handle them all and want us to come to Him as children…WOOP WOOP Praise God, He is So GOOD…
