It's true. If you really want to go a little crazy settle in with the truth that you and I have had absolutely no certainty when I comes to our outcomes. We have seasons when we are more aware of it, but there is nothing about your present or your future that is certain. I believe that our current economic situation as a nation speaks to that testament.
What can we do to manage uncertainty and survive.
Here are a few suggestions off the top of my head:
1. Be responsible with your today. (Give, Save, Spend--not the other way around)
2. Seek a clearer perspective. (there are things that happen in your life that are outside of your control. We spend so much time fighting for control that we tend to get ourselves even more wrapped up in even more uncertainty. It's like running in the forest in the pitch black, just because you are running doesn't mean you are making progress.)
3. Realize that uncertainty is a reality of living. (The sooner you embrace that life is uncertain, the sooner you can prepare for it's uncertainty.)
4. Stop fooling yourself in believing that can control everything.
5. Rely more on God and trust that there is nothing uncertain about Him. (His affection for you is incredible. Though the economy is uncertain, relationships are uncertain, your job is uncertain, the next few chapters of your life is uncertain; God has been and always will be constant and unchanging.
So say it out loud today... "The only thing about uncertainty is that it is certain that we will be uncertain."
Heart and Soul,
