INTRODUCTION
Greetings!!! Welcome back to my media space. Let's start off, fairy speaking, When we are all starting in life, we think we are destined for glory and prosperity. By the time we are probably 14 or 16 we have planned our life. We usually have an ideal age limit for certain things to have happened:
I have spent a lot of my life trying to figure out what the
next step looks like before it happens. I like to see the big picture. Not that
I’m super organized or want to be fully prepared for what’s coming up
ahead. I guess it is just more that I want to be in the loop. Who really likes feeling left
out — especially where their own life is concerned? Do you ever do this? Do you
ever think about where you are and wonder what is just beyond your line of
sight? Where will you be professionally in the next year? Should you stay here
in this job or should you move?
I suppose this is what spurs so many days and nights where
we plead with God to show us what things would look like when the picture is
finished. In college it was, what grade will I graduate with? Once I graduated,
it changed to where and what job or business will I land? Where do I go from
here? And once this job came along, I wondered, Can this really be it? Or is
there something just over the horizon that will change everything?
PRAYED FOR DIRECTIONS
And so we pray and ask the Lord for direction, all the while
peering ahead into the dimly lit future, straining our eyes to see if there is
something coming that we could recognize. But we never will. All the same, we
never see past the hand that the Lord is silently extending to us, simply
asking us to trust Him a little bit further.
The more now we think about it later in life, the more we
realize why He didn’t tell us how things would turn out in the end. It’s
because we couldn’t have understood from where we were. It is because He knows
us, and He knows that if we had seen this moment coming — if I had seen the
wheat fields and the dirt roads and the middle of nowhere as a part of the
story — we wouldn’t have trusted His
plan. We might have even tried to change it. And we're good at that. We like to
try things on and see how they feel and if they’re a good fit.
LIFE ISN'T AN OUTFIT BUT A GARMENT
But friend, life
isn’t an outfit that we can just put on or take off. Life is like a garment
that has been intricately woven from carefully chosen thread, each moment and
each event coloring the design and shaping the finished work.
WE ARE IN GOD'S PERFECT PLAN
Our lives are made up of a million perfectly placed choices
by the One who already knows how it turns out in the end. The beautiful truth is that the
Master’s hands can take ordinary threads and weave them into something
extravagant.
It was exactly what He is doing with all of our moments.
And, friend, it is exactly what He is doing with all of our moments too. He??’s busy spinning
threads.
