Reflection:

1. Have you ever considered that God is the God over all of your uncertainties? What is most uncertain right now in your life and are you ready to give that to the LORD, now?

2. In what ways is Jesus calling you to fulfill His Great Commission? Have you laid aside that calling or are you in tune with His leading?
