5 Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mothers womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.
6 Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another - or maybe both
7 Light is sweet; how pleasant to see a new day dawning.
Most of us have well laid plans for each day. We wake at a regular time and go about our responsibilities at work or at home caring for loved ones. We check off our lists as tasks are complete with a feeling of accomplishment and comfort. We are conditioned to routine, discipline and responsibilities and most find comfort in knowing and having set plans.
We also know that there is a whole spectrum of things that can and will happen during the day that are unexpected and can throw the day, week or even our life direction into a flurry of change and uncertainty. A sudden serious illness, an accident, a divorce, a loss of a loved one or a job are life changing and force us into a position of uncertainty.
There are some people though who make the choice to make significant life changes and are challenged by the uncertainty. Accepting a job that requires a move to a different city or even more daring moving to another city without a job. Or if you are like me, quitting a miserable job without having another job lined up.
I like having security and a plan so before making the change, I prayed about it and felt in my heart without any doubt that it was the right decision. Even though I am confident in my decision, I admit that dealing with the reality of uncertainty at times is frightful as I am filled with second thoughts and worry. But other times the uncertainty feels exciting and adventurous. I ask God each day to direct my path and I am confident that he will put me where he wants me to do his work according to his plans for me.
Deuteronomy 31:6 (NKJV)
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord you God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you”
Trusting in God’s plan takes courage, hope and believing beyond all doubt that God walks with us continually. There is not one-second during the day that he leaves us alone. As with everything in life, it is courage, faith, hope, love and trust in God that will bring us through to a better place and a stronger faith.
Today I am filled with peace, hope and excitement as I look forward to what God has in store for me. I give thanks to God for all I have and pray for his blessings for each of you.
Romans15:13 (NKJV)
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired. Martin Luther
