When I began this series of posting about finding God in unusual places, the idea was to be open to the possibility that God dwells in places that sometimes we may overlook or not recognize. By doing this, we will begin to actually become more aware of our environment, so that we may see a glimpse God.
This can create some confusion though, when we are making a great effort in looking for God, but we simply cannot find Him.
Does this mean I am not looking hard enough? Is there something that is preventing me from seeing Him in these situations.?
I wonder if we can find God in these situations, maybe in a different context. Is it possible one of the unusual places that we find God is in the realm of uncertainty.
I have to think it is.
The wife and I have been married for 3 years now. Does this mean that we never fight, or have disagreements? Does this mean that we always have "lovey-dovey's" when we wake up next to each other. As much as I want to say this is true, it simply isn't. What keeps us going though, is our ability to understand that we have a committed future. That commitment is the hope that we find in uncertain waters.
Whether it is walking on water, loosing a job, or even just a day where it just seems like we cant even glimpse a passing of the Spirit, I wonder if we can still find God in the unusual context of uncertainty. I think it will go a long way to reevaluate our commitments and to trust the relationship God extends to us. We can always look back and see that this context tends to work itself out, so let us find God in uncertainty through the hope of God's commitment to us. Let these times serve as a sign post to our relationship with God, even when things seem a little cloudy.
