Hello there,
Today I want to talk to you about going into the unknown.
It's always risky doing this because if you think about your life, there's so many unknowns.
I once read a story that made me realize that we have so many unknowns.
It was about a boy who has a therapy dog, this isn't a dog that makes you happy, and feel good about things, although dogs have a special ability to do so, this was a story that showed that without this dog, this boy of 10 years old, with a sever disability wouldn't go outside, he would be home with his parents, and well scared of life, until they got this dog, that was basically trained like a guide dog. It would do things on command, suddenly he's able to go outside, and do normal things even to school with his dog, and learn to speak, and talk.
Going into the unknown is hard, why?
Because we really don't know what is out there, going into the Christian unknowns is hard, often it feels like we're just stabbing in the dark, waiting for our chance.
What does the bible say about uncertainties?
Apart from being told not to worry about it, worry is one of those things, we don't add a single hour to our day if we worry.
Paul, in the bible told Timothy, his disciple to set good examples, in every day life.
And not to let older people put you down, this doesn't mean not to listen to them, but to listen to and respect them, after all their good advice might save you some heart ache.
We don't listen to advice anymore, but there comes a day, when you need to make your choice.
Sometimes if feels like the days just glide by with nothing really exciting happening, and that's ok, there are times for enjoying those days, and it's fine just to have ok sort of days.
And it's OK to be OK, sometimes we get all hyped up in the Christian world, that if we're not excited about something we're well weirdos, and I've had that.
I spilled a little case of saffron, on the floor, and if you know anything about saffron, this little case of it, was about $100, and it accendenly slipped out of my hands, and it went on the floor, I felt awful, because it was such a lot of money for some tiny incy wincy threads, of saffron, we did use it, because that's all that we had. A Christian waitress helped me pick up all the threads, and we put them back into the case.
Going into the unknown is scary, because it's hard to hear from God, it's hard in that place, where everyone else is having a good time, and here you are waiting.
Don't give up, it's easy in that place of waiting, that we become despondent, and we give up, but be on God's case, he doesn't give up on you.
David always prayed, he was righteously angry about the things he got angry about, he had enemies from all sides come and attack him, places that well far out weighted small Israel.
Jesus calms every type of storm, he makes everything ok, and all works out for good, you might not be there yet, I say yet, because God is all knowing, he will get you there to the place he wants you to be.
So don't be afraid of the unknown, but also be wise, don't throw yourself around just because you don't know what you're doing, if might be hard to understand this, but don't just go for anything, look at what God has done for you, think about what you're good at, and God always works in those areas.
Don't just blindly go on, not knowing where you are.
God has all your unknown things all his his hand and in the right time he'll make them known.
