Acorn Build Up: Uncertainty

Uncertainty

1Timothy 6:17
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

Isn't it odd how uncertain life gets when we step out in faith? The irony is that the uncertainty of life doesn't change just because we stepped out into something new. No, the truth is that life is uncertain all the time. We just get lulled into a false sense of security because the pay check comes in on a regular basis.

Our habits, routines, and familiar habitat create a sense of certainty, but it isn't real. Life is uncertain. No matter how comfortable we get, one phone call can change our life.

However, the uncertainty of life need not leave us feeling hopeless. There is a source of hope that is trustworthy. That source of hope is God. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. In God we can be certain. In God we can find our hope.

Certainly,
Lon
