I’m learning that when we say yes to God and let go of the need for certainty, that doesn’t mean he’ll grant our every wish or provide rescue with instant security. God cares more about our transformation into his image than immediate relief. His plans are good and often broader than we imagine. Over time, this truth transforms my addiction to certainty into a craving for the intimacy I experience with Jesus on Sabbath. One day of rest, which I initially interpreted as a sacrifice, becomes the day to remember how deeply I am loved.
