It’s so hard living in this world sometimes because nothing in this world is truly certain.
Well, yes -we hear “taxes and death” are – but then again – how much taxes? And when we will die? – still no true certainty in either of those.
Even when we fool ourselves into thinking our life is certain, it can change in a heartbeat.
The only thing that is certain in this world is that this world is uncertain.
And then – there is God.
He is what keeps up certain in all this uncertainty.
Our God who never changes.
Our God who knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end.
Our God who is Ruler over all things, even when it might appear He isn’t.
Disasters. Wars. Elections.
It’s often hard to see God here. And yet, we have to know and believe that while man has freedom of choice and free will, ultimately, God is still sovereignly in control.
We may not understand it.
We may not be able to see it.
We may not have words to explain it or even truly comprehend it.
But faith believes it. God is God.
Always.
In all ways.
His ways – higher than ours.
No doubt, we are living in uncertain times, but never forget we are in the sovereign care of God in who we can be absolutely certain.
He is our hope.
He is our strength.
He is our victory.
He is our peace.
Certainty isn’t found in this world.
It is found in the One who causes the sun to rise and the sun to set – the very One who holds the world in His hands.
It is found in the One who holds our very next breath.
We find our certainty not in this world, precious one – but in the God who is over it.
Of this I am absolutely certain.~
