Ponder, Personalize, Practice: Continue to memorize Philippians 1:6. Personalize the verse as you pray today. Think about what work God has been doing in your life. What is He asking you to join Him in completing? What are you thrilled and terrified of at the same time?

Being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHAPTERS IN OUR LIVES WON'T HAVE A TITLE UNTIL MUCH LATER. 

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. 

PSALM 32:8 

Do you remember how you felt after you first graduated high school? I remem­ber feeling thrilled and terrified at the same time. The world was thrown open in a way it had never been before. The regimen of the first eighteen years was largely determined by other people—school assignments, meals, bedtimes, and drivers education. We had to sit in classes chosen for us for at least eight hours a day. Our parents decided what meals we would eat and when we'd be home every night, then we'd sleep for the next eight hours.

 

Even though many of us broke some of the rules, there were at least clear boundaries in our lives. As frustrating as they were at times, they provided us a sense of security. 

Everything changed once we were out on our own. Whether we went to work or went to college, we didn't know what title the next chapter of our lives would have. We didn't know which group of friends we'd fall into or what subjects would catch our interest. We didn't know if we would soar into great adventures or fall into a sense of hopelessness. We didn't know if we'd lose faith or find it all over again. 

It might have felt more intense then, but I think we all revisit those feel­ings of uncertainty fairly often in our lives, no matter our age. We feel it with moves and job changes, when the kids go back to school, or when we wake up to an unexpected nudge that it's time to move on. Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later.
