Oswald Chambers: Hope - A Holy Promise Sample

When God gives a vision and darkness follows, wait; God will bring you into accordance with the vision He has given if you will wait His time. We try to do away with the supernatural in God’s undertakings. Never try and help God fulfill His word. There are some things we cannot do, and that is one of them. Certainty of God means uncertainty in life; while certainty in belief makes us uncertain of God. Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life; gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life, and they must both go together. Reflection Questions: Is my hope strong enough to wait on God or must I always jump in to “help” Him? Do I have enough hope in God to not do anything even though it seems as if something must be done? Quotations taken from Not Knowing Where and The Love of God, © Discovery House Publishers
