Uncertainty

"We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain" - Hebrews 6:19

Uncertainty.  We are surrounded by it.  Whether it is a plane disappearing over the ocean, a hillside collapsing in Washington where at least 21 people have lost their lives, the unrest in the Ukraine, or uncertainty about what will happen at our jobs tomorrow, everyone of us is touched by uncertainty. A couple of weeks ago in our Upward service, we explored this topic. Daily we are bombarded with a myriad of things that cause us to question what is going on.  Yet we hear over and over that as Christians, we are not to worry.  How is this even possible?  Fortunately, God does not leave us in our uncertainty.  Over and over again in scripture, we are reminded that God is in charge and that He has a plan in place for this broken world.  And the beauty of this plan is that it can not ever be thwarted.  Nothing ever comes as a surprise to our Lord who in the midst of this uncertainty is certain.  He is working all things together for the good of those who love Him.  This is a foundation we can rest upon.  When it seems everything around us is a swirling mess of unknown, we can trust that not one little piece is outside of God's plan or control.  The writer of Hebrews reminds us that we who are followers of the living Christ have a sure and steadfast anchor for our souls that cannot be shaken no matter what may come our way.  May we find rest in this truth.

Grace and Peace,
