Finding certainty in the face of uncertainty

There's so much uncertainty in my life right now. What's going to happen to my aunt, am I going to be accepted to the colleges that are at the top of my list, what's my GPA going to be and can I really get all the things done that I need to do? It can be overwhelming to face uncertain circumstances but thankfully, God is certain of our circumstances.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
-Romans 8:28

Sometimes I find myself assured that it just isn't possible for all things to work together for good and when I think that way I am terribly mistaken. Romans 8:28 says, "all things work together for good" not, "all things work together for good if they begin well." You see, the Lord isn't limited to seeing only what we see. We see impossibilities, we see things that couldn't possibly work out for good, we see what is happening now but our Savior sees beyond that. He knows the possibilities, he is certain of the good and he understand how our future will be affected by the here and now.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
-Jeremiah 29:11

Our future is secure in the hands of our King and our hope will never die if we place our trust in the One who died and lives again. We can have joy in the face of uncertainty because we serve a risen Savior who is our life and who is a rock that will never be moved. Our Foundation is secure.

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