Uncertainty

Life is full of uncertainty. It is a time worn cliche, but oh so true. There are the uncertainties that creep up on us, and there are the ones that stare us in the face. The creepers, are easier for me than those that stare at me. I get very impatient with the ones staring me in the face. Often I feel like shouting "just resolve already!" I do better when I just relax, and hand it all over to God, but many times that is easier said than done. I also have a tendency to hand it over to God, but snatch it right back so I can "think on it", aka perseverate on it, some more. I am beginning to realize, and maybe even accept, that it does not matter how much I "think on it", things will only resolve it God's time, not mine. So today, I am praying for God to resolve my current uncertainty, and for me to accept his time frame. It sounds so easy when I write it out.

When I was house hunting in Brentwood, for the third time, by myself, one of my kids (who was 12 at the time), sent me a song in an email. The words to the song are from Philipians 4
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:19
It is no less true today. As this week's uncertainty stares me in the face, I think it is time to perseverate on this verse, in place of my own desire for resolution.
