Uncertainty is certainly unsettling. When things or even people in our lives cause us to be filled with doubts, fears, and instability, it is unnerving to say the least. Some thrive in chaos and frivolity, free spirits without rules, direction, or plans – taking life as it comes and living it to the fullest. The problem - it is impossible to live life to the fullest without living out our purpose. And no, your purpose is NOT to be free-spirited. That is a character trait that God uses, but it's not a purpose. “If you are not planning to succeed, you are planning to fail.” “No plan” is a type of plan, all be it, a really bad one. What about the opposite? Planning everything down to the tiniest of details. Having a plan is good, but sometimes, some of us need to take a few breaths and relax. Getting wound up over best laid plans that go awry is just not worth it. Besides, it goes against God's plans and purpose for your life, just as much as flying free by the seat of your pants does. When uncertainty arrises these extremes will drown us. There has to be a balance, and we must find it. We cannot become spiritually mature as long as we remain emotionally immature. Let's be completely honest here, the world is messed up. It is getting more and more messed up every single day. I find myself begging God to end it all already. God has a plan! Of that, I have no doubt! I am confident in that truth! That truth is my only comfort when I turn on the news or scroll through social media. God IS in control. Trust Him and be certain of that. Don't be those described in Matthew 24:10.
