The Big Picture By: Ariel GantOneGirlRevolution2005@hotmail.com
”We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing Him directly just as He knows us! But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, and love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 (MSG) As you sit here reading this devotional, you may be so overwhelmed with something that you've considered giving up. You may be to the point that you think it's the only way out. Have you ever thought back to a time in your life where you know you would have made a different decision had you been able to see the big picture, or known a little more about the situation? I know I have. This verse above reminds us that we can only see what's here and now -- we can't see that the friend who hurt us is terribly sorry and longs to reconcile with you; the loved one who's sickness seems to be consuming every aspect of your life is one step away from healing; or the problems you're facing will get better and aren't worth ending your life over. God is the only one who can see the "big picture." As He sits in Heaven, He knows the past that haunts you, the turmoil you now face, and the freedom that awaits you. And though He allows you free will to make your own choices, He's asking for you to open your eyes and realize that there is something far bigger. He's asking you to simply trust in Him, and allow Him to pull you through. He can't wait for the beauty He's producing in you to bloom, and for His glory to radiate from your life. He wants you ... to hold on ... hoping, loving, and trusting in Him . |
