I was parked in my car, looking at white clouds seated against a soft, baby-blue morning sky. The blue weaved in and around the clouds—like a maze with no beginning or end. Exactly like the God we serve.
If we’re obedient to Christ, we will find ourselves in situations or ministries where we feel unqualified. It’s no accident, but an opportunity. We crave and need certainty in our lives. It is a cross-cultural, integral human desire.
But serving God is filled with uncertainty (Revelation 1:8). The best way to move forward with confidence in our ministries is to be sure that our eternal destination is what matters most. Our souls are most important. We must be certain we offer them to our Creator to serve the Alpha and Omega.
Some will doubt. People in the past have doubted me. They exist in the present, and they will be in my future. They have always been here. It’s a part of the maze. A part of finding the patches of blue sky where we know God is leading us to do His good and perfect will. It’s trusting that at the end of the maze will be our amazing God, waiting to say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter the kingdom of heaven.”
We humbly serve the God who was and is and is to come. It is an extraordinary opportunity. God has always been here. He is here now, and He will be present in the future. Let Him guide you through life’s maze.
