In a time of transition, many things are left uncertain. No one, except one, knows what the future holds. Uncertainty often leads to anxiety and at the extreme it can paralyze us.
But it is in times of uncertainty that our faith becomes so much more real. It is in times of uncertainty that we all the more need to rely upon God. In many ways, uncertainty is more of a blessing than a curse. It is in times of uncertainty that God has got us right where he wants us.
It is easy to grow comfortable in the certain. I know that when I want to get comfortable I will vegge out on my couch. I will lay back content to do absolutely nothing, but stuff my face with junk food. I turn on the TV and I am unproductive as I can possibly be.
But what usually happens is I get bored after awhile. I need to do something. I need adventure. I need romance. I need challenge. I need purpose.
One thing this has taught me is that God did not create us for the comfortable or for the certain. He has wired us for adventure and part of that adventure is not knowing what might be around the next corner.
I am excited for the quest that God has put before us. There are certainly challenges lie ahead at Lord of Life. Not everything is pleasant to think about or consider. But I know that through it all, God will show himself as the great God of adventure that he is.
