When God Holds You Through the Unknown
Scripture:
“For You have been my help, and in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.” — Psalm 63:7 (NASB)
There are seasons when the unknown feels louder than anything else in your life. You can’t predict what’s coming. You can’t read the landscape ahead. You can’t trace what God is doing behind the scenes. It feels like the ground beneath you is shifting, and no amount of reasoning or planning can bring the comfort you want.
And yet, somehow, God holds you.
There is a kind of comfort that doesn’t come from answers but from proximity. It is the comfort of knowing that even when you don’t see the way forward, the One who leads you never loses His footing. David understood this. In the wilderness, far from stability or certainty, he discovered a truth he would carry for the rest of his life: God doesn’t just guide His people; He guards them. He shelters them. He holds them so securely that even the unknown loses some of its power.
I’ve lived through days when the unknown felt suffocating. When I prayed for clarity but received quiet instead. When I reached for control but received stillness. I wanted God to illuminate the whole road. He instead gave me Himself. And in ways that surprised me, His presence gave a steadiness that clarity never could.
Think of Ruth, stepping into a foreign land with no promise of what her future held. She moved forward not because she understood what God was doing, but because she trusted the God who had already met her in her grief. Think of Mary, holding the angel’s words without a blueprint for how they would unfold. Her confidence rested in God’s character, not in her comprehension. Think of the disciples after the resurrection, uncertain about what came next. Jesus didn’t give them a detailed timeline—He gave them His presence and His promise.
The unknown is often where God teaches you the nature of His grip.
There is a difference between being unsure and being unsafe. You may not know what is coming, but you are held by the One who does. You may not see the next step, but you are carried by the One who sees the whole journey. You may feel the tremble of uncertainty, but God is not trembling with you—He is covering you.
And when God covers you, the unknown cannot consume you.
If you are facing something unclear today, hear this: the absence of detail does not mean the absence of God. His wings are over you. His hand is under you. His presence is around you. You are held by a strength that does not waver when your understanding does.
Today’s Encounter:
Ask the Lord, “What part of the unknown are You holding me through today?”Allow Him to reveal the nearness you may have overlooked. Often, His comfort precedes His clarity.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for holding me when the future feels uncertain. Teach me to rest in Your presence more than in my need for answers. Cover my heart with Your peace, steady my mind with Your truth, and remind me that I am safe in Your hands. In Jesus’ name, amen.
