The Beautiful Unknown
OPENING PRAYER:
God of the unknown, give us the faith to trust You in the uncertainties of life. May we find joy in the journey, knowing that You are with us every step of the way. Amen.
"Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV)
REFLECT:
The message shared the story of Chris and Erin, who described their journey of faith as the "beautiful unknown." This phrase captures the essence of trusting God in the midst of uncertainty, knowing that He is leading us towards something greater. Paul's words echo this sentiment as he speaks of pressing on towards the goal, leaving behind what is past and straining forward to what lies ahead.
This passage invites us to embrace the unknown with faith and courage. The message encouraged us to trust God in the journey, even when we don't have all the answers. It's about letting go of the past and stepping into the future with confidence, knowing that God is with us.
Reflect on the areas of your life where you are facing the unknown. Are there fears or doubts that are holding you back? Let this be a time of surrender, as you trust God to lead you into the beautiful unknown.
I WILL STATEMENT:
I will give boldly because all things are possible through Jesus. Take a step of faith, trusting that He is leading you towards something greater.
CLOSING PRAYER:
Lord, thank You for the journey of faith and the promise of Your presence in the unknown. Help us to trust You with our future, knowing that You are leading us towards something beautiful. Amen.
