Tomorrow, the course of my life could change forever. In one moment, life could start moving on a totally new trajectory. In one moment, I could face painful disappointment, which would affect my journey as well.

While any moment could do this, I think there are some that are truly life altering. This moment could mean moving half way across a country into a new life and new world. Or, it could mean facing the reality that I’m not accepted where I am and that more choices will need to be made.

There’s no way to know, in this moment, which it will be. But I know in this moment, right now, all I can do is wait patiently, pray faithfully, and see what God will do.

I think this is how the disciples felt after Good Friday. There lives were on the brink. Their best friend had been killed and they had no idea what was about to happen.  In fact, they may not have really known what to be looking for. 

He could rise again.

Or, He could remain dead – an ordinary man after all, full of delusion, and now dead. Forever. 

The disciples were full of fear. They didn’t know what to think. This moment of change was proceeded by great failure and great pain; by their own weakness and unwillingness to live out who they said they were. And now, all they could do was wait.

The good news for them was that He arose! He lives!  He was and is the Messiah and their lives were forever changed. The journey of their new life, as a new people, was beginning. They could never go back and never return to the life before death, but had to live in the light they were given; the light of resurrection.

And the good news for me – and for you – is the same. Even though I don’t know what tomorrow brings, I stand in the confidence and assurance that He lives and reigns. That whatever happens in my earthly journey, the power of the resurrection to remake and recreate my life will continue no matter the outcome of this decision.

To find peace in uncertainty is never easy. But I know that my God can handle it. He did conquer the grave after all. And he holds my future in His hands.
