Guaranteed uncertainty

Chapter 5 in "In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day" is about guaranteed uncertainty.   Some people think faith in God is about knowing exactly what He is going to do.  Last night our group talked about things that we never expected to happen which turned into some of the most vivid memories from our lifetime.  We talked about sad surprises like the death of a loved one or the sudden termination from a job.  And then there are happy surprises like the conception of a child when the doctors said it wouldn't be possible.  The thing that we should have faith in is not faith that we know exactly what God is going to do, but having faith in the fact that His plan is perfect.  We may not understand that perfect plan, but God's desire is that we seek to know Him more.  As we do that, His plan will be revealed to us, but not completely.  He is way too big.  But if we trust in Him, and in his Son, we will meet Him one day, and the full plan that He has for us will be revealed.  That is His promise.  I am certain of that.
