I John 3:2 ” Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall see Him as He is.”

Our natural inclination is to be always trying to forecast what will happen next. To quote Oswald Chambers, “Certainty is the mark of commonsense, but gracious uncertainty is the mark of the Spiritual life.” But we have to admit that this is scary, and for the most part, that our future is real, but still veiled. (I Corinthians 2:9) So as Jesus taught in Matthew 18:3, we must then take on the trusting faith and humble spiritual life of a tiny child who is dependent on others for what they can’t provide for themselves. Thereby, blessed certainty can replace our human guesswork as we trust that God is preparing unimageable blessings for those who love Him.
