Navigating Uncertainties
There are seasons in life when everything seems to change at once. What once felt stable becomes uncertain. The future that seemed clear suddenly disappears. You find yourself asking questions you never expected to ask: What happens next? Did I misunderstand God? Does He still love me? Will He use me? How do I move forward when I do not even know what I am moving toward?
Uncertainty is not an unusual experience for the believer. In fact, even a church birthed by faith, rooted in love, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to seeing people redeemed will still walk through uncertain seasons.
That is true for the Living Church Boise. It is true for the larger body of Christ. And it is true for every follower of Jesus.
The question is not whether we will face uncertainty.
The question is how we will navigate it.
Romans 8:28 gives us a place to begin:
“And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Most Christians have heard this verse many times. Some can quote it from memory. But familiar verses can become so familiar that we lose our sense of wonder. We can hear the words without stopping to consider the astonishing truth they contain.
Paul does not say that we will understand everything. He does not promise that every circumstance will turn out the way we hoped. He does not say that every relationship will be restored, every job will return, or every painful situation will receive a fairytale ending.
He says that we can know something—even when there is much we do not know.
And that changes everything.
When Obedience Does Not Immediately Produce Clarity
A study titled Understanding Uncertainty: A Risk Analysis, published in 1994, concluded that when people face critical decisions involving risk, there is often more information they do not know than information they do know. The study argued that our focus should be on understanding and effectively dealing with what we do not know.
That sounds reasonable until you stop and think about it.
How do you understand what you do not understand?
Sometimes life brings us to a place where trying harder does not produce clarity. We pray, fast, seek God, and attempt to do everything faithfully, yet we still cannot see what He is doing. We may know we are supposed to trust Him, but we do not know what the next step looks like.
We can face uncertainty in our relationships, finances, purpose, calling, anointing, or salvation. We can wonder whether God really loves us—and, if He does, whether He will actually use us. We can feel that the dreams He placed in our hearts are far beyond our education, age, talent, eloquence, or ability.
Sometimes life feels like it has slammed on the brakes when we were expecting to live in overdrive.
And sometimes the hardest part is not knowing how to begin again.
When we walk with God long enough, we will eventually enter a season in which our obedience does not immediately produce clarity. We may be doing the right things and still feel unsure about where God is leading us.
In those moments, we have a choice.
Choose confidence over chaos.
That does not mean pretending everything is fine. It does not mean ignoring grief, denying fear, or acting as though uncertainty has no effect on us. It means refusing to let what we do not know become greater than what we do know.
The world tells us to try to understand everything we do not understand. Scripture calls us to lean on what we know.
Romans 8:28 begins with the words, “And we know.”
The Greek word used there, oida, carries the idea of knowing, perceiving, or being aware of a settled fact. Paul is not pointing us toward complete information. He is pointing us toward a confidence rooted in something already revealed.
When uncertainty surrounds you, do not lose your mind over what you do not know.
Return to what you do know.
Confidence Is Not Complete Information
What should give us confidence when our circumstances are unclear?
Not complete information.
Confidence is not complete information. It is a settled trust in God’s character.
We do not become confident because we have all the answers. We become confident because we know the One who does.
God is not frightened by the chaos in our lives. He is not overwhelmed by what is happening in the world. He is not intimidated by our failures, our temptations, our family situations, or the things we cannot control.
He is greater than all of it.
That is why Paul directs our attention to the comprehensive sovereignty of God.
God’s sovereignty means that He is greater than anything else. He is stronger than anything else. He knows more than anything else. He is not limited by the circumstances that limit us.
His sovereignty is comprehensive. It covers everything.
Romans 8:28 says that “all things work together for good.” That means there is no part of our story that is beyond His authority. There is no trauma we have experienced, no identity we carry, no sin we have committed, and no evil done against us that is greater than God.
This does not mean God is the author of sin. He is not morally guilty of evil, and He does not delight in wickedness. Human beings remain responsible for the evil they intend.
But evil is never outside His authority.
God is able to redeem what evil intended.
That does not mean we will always understand why something happened. We may never receive an explanation for a particular loss, betrayal, illness, or disappointment. But even when we cannot explain the event, we can know that God is not defeated by it.
He is not absent from our pain.
He is still able to accomplish His holy purpose.
The Good God Promises Is Greater Than a Happy Ending
We often interpret Romans 8:28 through the lens of immediate circumstances.
We hear that all things work together for good, and we assume that the good must mean the relationship will be restored, the job will return, the illness will be healed, the finances will improve, or the dream will finally come true.
Sometimes God does restore those things. But that is not the ultimate good Paul is describing.
The good God promises is greater than a restored relationship. It is greater than receiving a job back. It is greater than getting the building we want, having the ministry we imagined, or seeing every earthly problem resolved.
The good is that God is making us more and more like Jesus.
Romans 8:29 explains that God’s purpose is for us to be conformed to the image of His Son.
That is the good.
We could receive everything we want and still miss the purpose of God if we are not becoming more like Jesus. We could have a large building, a successful ministry, financial stability, and public influence—and still be spiritually empty.
But if we are becoming more like Christ, then even an ordinary or difficult season can be filled with eternal purpose.
Joseph gives us one of the clearest pictures of this truth.
Joseph was loved by his father and hated by his brothers. His brothers sold him as a slave to Egypt. He was separated from his family, falsely accused, and thrown into prison.
None of that looked good.
Yet God was working through every part of Joseph’s story. Eventually, Joseph became second in command to Pharaoh. God gave him wisdom to interpret dreams, and through that wisdom Egypt prepared for a famine. When the famine came, people from surrounding nations came to Egypt for food—including Joseph’s own family.
Looking back at everything that had happened, Joseph told his brothers:
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.”
Joseph did not call evil good. He did not pretend that betrayal was harmless. He simply recognized that God’s sovereignty was greater than the evil committed against him.
The same truth is seen in the death of Jesus.
Acts 2:23 describes Jesus as being delivered according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, yet crucified by the hands of lawless men. Acts 4:27–28 explains that Herod, a Pilate, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel gathered against Jesus to do what God’s hand and plan had already predestined to take place.
The crucifixion was the greatest act of human wickedness - and God used it to accomplish the greatest act of redemption.
If God can work through the cross, He is not defeated by your uncertainty.
If He can bring resurrection out of death, He is able to bring redemption out of what you cannot yet understand.
Sovereignty Does Not Mean You Cannot Cry
There is a danger when we begin talking about the sovereignty of God. We can make people feel as though trusting God means they are not allowed to grieve.
That is not biblical faith.
Just because God is sovereign does not mean you cannot cry. It does not mean you cannot feel sick in your stomach when you face uncertainty. It does not mean you cannot toss and turn at night, wondering what is going to happen next.
Trusting God does not make you less human.
In fact, biblical trust gives you a safe place to bring your humanity.
There are seasons when we must say, “God is sovereign, so I will cry while trusting Him.”
“God is sovereign, so I will grieve while trusting Him.”
“God is sovereign, so I will admit that I do not know what is going to happen while trusting Him.”
This is not unbelief. It is honest faith.
The psalmist writes:
“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.”
Notice, he does not say, “When I am afraid, I will pretend I am not afraid.”
He does not say, “When I am afraid, I will shame myself for having fear.”
He says, “When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.”
Fear may be present, but fear does not have to be in control.
Psalm 56 continues:
“In God I trust; I shall not be afraid.”
The order matters. Trust comes in the middle of fear. Confidence grows while we are still learning to surrender.
We should not become like Job’s friends, who spoke when silence would have been better. Sometimes people who are hurting do not need a lecture about how God has everything under control. They need someone to sit with them, listen to them, and allow them to grieve without treating their sorrow as spiritual failure.
God has made us human. He knows what it is like for us to hurt.
And He remains sovereign while we hurt.
Confidence Grows Where God Is Loved
Romans 8:28 does not simply say that all things work together for good. It says this promise is "for those who love God and are called according to His purpose."
That means the foundation of confidence is not merely knowing that God is sovereign.
It is knowing Him and loving Him.
The Christian life does not begin with religious performance. It begins with relationship.
We cannot force ourselves to love God through sheer effort. We cannot repeat, “Jesus, I love You,” while our hearts remain untouched by His love. That would be a strange relationship.
Love begins with God.
“We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)
Before we ever reached for Him, He reached for us. Before we understood His love, He demonstrated it. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
The cross is where we see the love of Jesus most clearly. It is where our hearts find their home. It is where we discover that God’s love is not sentimental affection or religious obligation.
His love is sacrificial, unconditional, and transforming.
When we understand that love, we begin to respond.
Love Is Demonstrated by Obedience
Jesus said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
Love for God is demonstrated through obedience. We do not obey in order to earn His love. We obey because His love has captured our hearts.
A healthy relationship does not consist of one person constantly trying to earn the affection of the other. When love is real, obedience is not merely an obligation. It becomes a response of trust.
Love Is Not Legalism
1 John 5:3 says:
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.”
Following Jesus is not supposed to be empty religion. It is not supposed to leave us spiritually dead, dry, and exhausted because we are constantly trying to prove ourselves.
When we love God, obedience becomes a joyful response to who He is.
That does not mean obedience is always easy. It means it is no longer meaningless. We are not simply checking religious boxes. We are learning to trust the One who loves us.
Love Is Not One-Sided
1 Corinthians 8:3 says:
“But if anyone loves God, he is known by God.”
That is astonishing. When you belong to Jesus, you are not an anonymous person in a crowd. You do not need a name tag in heaven. God knows you.
He knows your name, your story, your weakness, your history, and your heart.
The relationship is not one-sided. We love Him because He first loved us, and as we respond to that love, we discover that we are already fully known by Him.
Love Changes the Way We Live
When people fall in love, they walk differently. They smile differently. They carry themselves differently. Love changes their confidence because they know they are loved.
How much more should the love of the God who created the universe transform us?
The confidence to stand in uncertain times does not come from having a trick up our sleeve. It comes from knowing that God loves us, that He loves His church, and that He is faithful to His purposes.
Love Looks Beyond the Present Trial
James 1:12 says:
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”
The promise is not merely for those who attend church, serve, give, or participate in ministry activities. The promise is for those who love God.
You may not know what is happening next, but you can know the God who has brought you this far.
You may not understand the road you are on, but you can know the God who is walking with you.
You may feel weak, but the Spirit of God is interceding for you.
The answer to uncertainty is not always a detailed explanation. Sometimes the answer is a deeper relationship with the One who holds everything.
“Lord, I Believe. Help My Unbelief.”
For someone who has not yet entered into a relationship with Jesus, Romans 8:28 is not a promise to use like a lottery ticket or a genie in a bottle. It is an invitation into genuine relationship with God.
The invitation is not simply to believe that God will make your circumstances better. It is to know Him, love Him, trust Him, and surrender your life to Him.
The invitation can begin with a very simple prayer:
“Jesus, help me to love You more.”
That is a prayer every believer can pray.
In Mark 9, a father brings his demon-possessed son to Jesus after the disciples were unable to heal him. The father asks Jesus if He can do anything.
It almost sounds like Jesus is getting mad at him. He says, “What do you mean, ‘If I can?’ Do you not know that I’m the comprehensive sovereign God?”
And Jesus says, “All things are possible if you believe.”
The father gives his response:
“I believe; help my unbelief.”
Perhaps uncertainty has caused you to doubt. Perhaps unanswered prayers have made you question whether God is present. Perhaps you have wondered if you did something wrong or whether God is disappointed in you.
You can bring that honestly to Him.
“Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.”
You do not have to pretend. You do not have to manufacture confidence. You can bring your fear, your doubt, your grief, and your questions into the presence of the sovereign God who loves you.
Stay at His Feet
For those struggling with unbelief, ask God to help you.
For those burdened by religion, shame, and guilt, ask God to help you love Him.
For those walking through uncertainty, ask God for the faith to keep trusting Him—even when you are crying, even when you are tossing and turning, even when things are not going your way.
The goal is not to become people who never feel afraid.
The goal is to become people who know where to take our fear.
When we do not know what God is doing, we can throw ourselves at His feet and stay there. We can wait for Him. We can trust that the God who began a good work in us will carry it through to completion.
Our circumstances may remain uncertain, but God is certain.
Our future may be unclear, but His character has not changed.
We may not know what comes next, but we know the One who holds the next season.
So trade your chaos for confidence.
Not confidence in your strength, wisdom, education, charisma, or ability to control the outcome.
Confidence in the comprehensive sovereignty of God.
He is not defeated by your pain. He is not absent from your grief. He is not threatened by your weakness. He is able to redeem what evil intended and accomplish His holy purpose.
And the good He is working is greater than simply giving us the ending we want.
He is making us more like Jesus.
That is a good we can trust—even here, even now, even when we do not know.
Uncertainty is not an unusual experience for the believer. In fact, even a church birthed by faith, rooted in love, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and committed to seeing people redeemed will still walk through uncertain seasons.
That is true for the Living Church Boise. It is true for the larger body of Christ. And it is true for every follower of Jesus.
