So we came home yesterday after our "realtor open house" to find a note that said nobody showed. Somewhat discouraging. The Lord had been pouring into me the entire day. I had been dwelling on thoughts about His power, His love, and His ultimate sovereignty. I was in a pretty good place, but the note still shook me a little. I began to ponder: “maybe He doesn’t want us to go?”
Then I read some Oswald Chambers, the devotional for yesterday, April 29th, and the Lord poured in again.
“Our natural inclination is to be so precise— trying always to forecast accurately what will happen next— that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing. . . . . . The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty. . . . . . We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. . . . . . Leave everything to Him and it will be gloriously and graciously uncertain how He will come in— but you can be certain that He will come. Remain faithful to Him.” (Click here to read more)
We need to live in “gracious uncertainty,” and believe me, that is what it feels like. We covet your prayers, please keep petitioning on our behalf.

Hey man, we're praying. We share in the gracious uncertainty of your house. Faith really is not knowing what God's gonna do, but knowing He's is doing something.
