Along the way I’ve discovered the desert of uncertainty holds immense faith-growing potential, and when I humbly admit my lost state, I give God permission to work powerfully in my life to His glory.
2 Corinthians 12:9 says: “Each time he [the Lord] said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me” (NLT).
Story after story in the Bible shows God bringing people to a place of complete vulnerability so He can be glorified—look at the stories of Joseph, Moses, Gideon, Sampson, and Paul (to name but a few). These stories give me hope in dark times—times of uncertainty and wilderness wandering.
Time and time again God has powerfully revealed His strength in humanity’s weakness. So, walking in the footsteps of these pillars of weakness, instead of trying to find all the answers or attempting to decipher His thoughts and plans, I’m going to put my faith into practice, placing my trust fully in God, embracing the words from one of my favorite songs: “If You say ‘Go,’ I will go. If You say, ‘Wait,’ I will wait. If You say, ‘Step out on the water,’ and they say it can’t be done, I’ll fix my eyes on You and I will go.”
So join me as I step out in faith, allowing God to work in my life—in His time and on His terms. Join me as I admit my weakness and embrace the unknown—giving God full permission to work in my life to His glory!
Final Thought: Sometimes the best place to start is a place filled with unanswered questions, humbly admitting you don’t have the answers. In this seemingly deserted place, the possibilities for God to work are truly limitless.
