Nobody really enjoys uncertainty. At least, I don’t. Like most women, I crave security, and struggle with the sin of anxiety when circumstances become questionable. Regretfully, I all too often respond to trials by metaphorically flailing my arms as I sink into the quicksand of despair and pragmatism.

We sink into all kinds of sands in the face of uncertainty and opposition, don’t we? Sometimes we trust in politicians, believing that certain political agendas will safeguard our country from ruin. Other times we trust in popular Christian teachers, ignoring their subtle deviations from Biblical doctrine. Still other times we, like me, fall into despair and then try to fix our situations through our own efforts.

But the Lord mercifully always brings us back to Himself, reminding us that He alone is our solid rock. And as we return to Him, we find His sufficient grace protecting us from the stormy trials and the rising waters of uncertainty. Best of all, we have assurance that His righteousness enables us, despite all the times we put our foot on foundations of sand, to stand before His throne without fault.
