As I write this, I sit waiting to hear the result of someone’s covid test and that result will determine whether my flight to Zambia goes ahead on Thursday or not. Though I do not know the answer, I know my God does, and my choice is to trust him in the unknowing and to walk in peace and not be stressed about it all.
The plan should be that tomorrow I have my Fit to Fly test, and then on Thursday I head to Heathrow to get my flight to Zambia, but a positive test means 10 days of isolating with the beautiful family that I have spent the last week with.
The truth is, I believe and hope that I will still be flying to Zambia on Thursday, BUT if I am not, then I will choose to celebrate and be thankful that I get to spend a further 10 days in this wonderful home. The girls are a pure delight and I will cherish the extra time playing games and watching movies and trusting that God has purpose in it all.
How we respond when things don’t go as we expect, especially the big things, says a lot about how we perceive God. I am on a journey to trust Him with the detail, even when the detail appears to be different to what I thought. The bible tells us in Proverbs 16:9 that man plus his course but God determines his steps and I believe this. I have done my best over recent months to plan as I have felt led by God, now I just have to trust that He is determining my steps to work for my good, however those steps work out.
So, as I sit in the unknowing, waiting for a test result that will determine what my next 10 days looks like and whether flights and other things need to be rearranged or not, I choose to look to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of my faith and trust that He has it all in hand.
To trust that this scenario is no surprise to Him, and that He still knows that He gets me where He wants me in Zambia.
To trust that wherever and however I spend my next 10 days, He has purpose in it all.
In what areas of unknowing do you need to look to Jesus today and trust that He knows what He is doing in what you see as uncertain?
