Uncertain? Certainly.
“To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways; we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation.”

-Oswald Chambers
I’m not a fan of not knowing what’s coming. Not really fond on surprises…surprises mean I can’t prepare.
I prefer certainty. Make it practical. Make it realistic. Make it something you’re sure I can do.
Does it seem like an oxymoron-thought that faith isn’t a sure thing?
“Maybe faith has less to do with gaining knowledge and more to do with causing wonder. Maybe a relationship with God doesn’t simplify our lives. Maybe it complicates our lives in ways that they should be complicated…sin will complicate your life in ways that it shouldn’t be complicated. One way or the other, life is complicated.”-In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day
It’s complicated. I think God prefers it that way.
