UNKNOWN BUT CERTAIN
Have you ever felt something so strongly that you just KNEW
it was about to happen? Have you ever
had daily confirmations and hope and anticipation for something to come. It’s like a mother about to give birth in her
9th month. It’s inevitable. It’s coming. It’s almost there, and yet
I am sure to the full term pregnant mother, the birthing day feels forever
away. I feel I am in this season of
knowing something is coming, but the details and the how and when are unknown
and so far from me.
I keep thinking of
Abraham. He knew G*d promised him a son.
He believed that, but the when and how he didn’t know, and it was out of his
hands. In Abraham’s humanness he tried
to figure life out and had a baby with his slave. But this was not the promise. This was not
what the Father had intended. I am sure
waiting for the promise felt incredibly stupid at times, and hopeless, and yet
we know that the Word also says Abraham’s faith was credited to him as
righteousness. This gives me hope, that
even in Abraham’s fleshiness and doubt and sin, that as he kept on trusting- the
Father brought redemption and gives him a son and then calls him righteous.
I have days that I feel like a fool. I have days filled with doubt and wanting to
use self-effort to figure out my life and plans. Like Abraham I am fleshy, but oh how thankful
I am for a gracious Father that gives me grace, and hope, and confidence, and
allows me to see Him at work and know His plans never fail. The future may be unknown, but it is certain
in Je$us Chri$t. Please pray with me
that I would remain confident in the Father and ALL He is calling me to pray
for and believe in for the future, for me and for India. He has plans I can’t even begin to dream or
imagine about. One thing is certain, it’s going to be incredible!
