Uncertain Times

Uncertainty. As a society, we live in a world of uncertainty. Uncertain social conditions. Uncertain economic times. Uncertain global developments. Yet uncertainty is nothing new. The characters in the Bible experienced wildly fluctuating levels of uncertainty. . . often feeling as if life was moving backwards, getting worse. And the questions remain the same. Where's God? Is he going to show up? Is he still in control?

Some of the brightest moments in our lives are the result of brokenness. When we can see that God is working through undesirable circumstances - even the ones we bring on ourselves - there is a sense of purpose and peace that emerges. Knowing that God is still active during uncertain times allows us to maintain hope and faith and keeps us from despair. We can rest knowing that God has not abandoned us . . . and that he's still in control.
