Surrendering Certainty: Hearing God Today by Letting Go of Tomorrow

By Abby McDonald and Abby McDonald

Book Overview

"The God of the universe is trying to communicate with you. Are you listening? Have you ever felt like God was prompting you to do something but questioned whether it was his voice? Instead of acting, you waited for another sign. What if God has already given us what we need to know a word is from him? Surrendering Certainty addresses a key misconception about God's voice: that it will tell us what will happen tomorrow. We've mistaken God's voice in our lives for a means of obtaining knowledge instead of embracing its power to give us peace for today. Since the fall in the garden of Eden, humanity has carried the same deception that misled Eve. We think more information will give us more freedom. But if we look at Jesus's teachings, we see that his direction was never intended to give us a roadmap. We can trade the yoke of certainty we carry for a better one: Jesus's yoke. By focusing on three promises Jesus gave us in John 10, Surrendering Certainty shows a better way to live, empowered by God's word instead of a false sense of security. We will be free from a weight we were never intended to carry: the burden of being "like God.""--
