Living With Uncertainty

Living With Uncertainty - Daniel Cole
 

For we do not know... Romans 8:26B

Ask any divorced or separated couples if they knew from onset, during honeymoon, "while the love was still young" that just few years down the line they both will be living separately and those vows exchanged at the alter will no longer matter? Of course, they knew not.

Ask the student who burn candles all night trying all he could to ensure he doesn't fail those subjects, but on getting the results he didn't meet up with the cut-off mark, if he knew that would be the outcome? Of course not?

Ask the 15 years old orphan that life accidentally thrust into parenthood, having to look after his siblings if he knew that was the fate life cut out for him? Of course not.

How often have we also in the context of affirming our certainty or uncertainty  ask our partner "Do you love me? "

One thing I know for sure is that nothing is for sure. When life hit us with painful realities, when the unexpected happens, how do we respond, how do we handle it?

You can only prepare for what you see coming. We all have blind spot, there are areas in all our lives that we don't see with perfect clarity. Nevertheless, when the unexpected happens, we can always find solace in God’s word. Romans 8:28 says "For everything works together for good to them who love the Lord..."


Admit what is not within your reach to change, let go of the pains of yesterday, forgive the past and trust God that He has a better plan for you.
