How many have ever gotten lost in the woods and could not see the forest for all the trees, or bogged down in a situation, obsessed with an individual event at the exclusion of the whole. Hopefully more so as kids and young adults, but even now I sometimes find myself weighed down in the minutia and lose sight of Gods' grand scheme. Yet we have only to look back and remember our past struggles and victories that we have experienced in our lives, to help us realize God has not abandoned us.
Are you there today, swimming upstream, struggling instead of asking and trusting God to see you through? Often times he requires us to take the long road, so that we learn and grow stronger to be used of him, in his grand scheme of things. Are we strong enough to handle the success he has planned for us? Interesting thought to ponder during our next hardship. Growing up is hard work, but God knows best!
Blessings and prayer....May God that created us continue to work his perfect will in our lives so that we may grow up and be the sons and daughters he has made us to be. Go in peace and may he keep our hearts and minds on the one true God, the author and finisher of our faith, in Jesus name I pray.
