FAITH IN UNCERTAINTY


Saul failed to understand God’s calling for him as king. Instead of focusing on God who chose and guided him, Saul turned his attention to the problems and fears he faced. His fear blinded him, causing him to forget that God is the Creator who holds all power. Under pressure and uncertainty, Saul chose to act on his own without obedience to God. Instead of relying on God, he depended on his limited strength and wisdom.

Like Saul, we often face pressures or doubts from those around us, making us question whether God is truly with us. When we don’t turn to God, worry tends to take control. However, when we habitually seek God through His Word, we find strength and assurance that He never leaves us. Every problem, pressure, or rejection from others can become an opportunity to witness God’s beautiful plans for us. Jesus, who knows and loves us unconditionally, is the true source of strength who never leaves us alone in facing challenges.

David, despite his sins, chose to come to God in repentance. As king, he wasn’t ashamed to admit his mistakes before God and others because he understood God’s unchanging faithful love. David was strong because he made God his strength and relied fully on Him. In a world filled with uncertainties, we have assurance in God’s love, demonstrated through His death and resurrection. God is on our side and never fails.

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS

1. Do I tend to see problems through the lens of fear, or entrust them to God?

2. How can I remind myself to turn to God, especially during uncertainty?

PRACTICAL ACTIONS

1. Set aside daily time to pray, confessing your fears and worries to God. Ask for strength and wisdom from the Holy Spirit to face every challenge.

2. Read Bible verses that strengthen your faith. Focus on God’s promises in dealing with uncertainty, and meditate on the truth that He is always with us.
