Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. When I met with the Living God this morning, I confessed to Him that I’m growing weary of the Winter and that I’m longing for the Spring. I confessed to Him that sometimes my soul is downcast just because of this minor detail in life. I whined a little about needing to see the beauty of His Creation in living color…the brown replaced with green and the cold replaced with warmth. And in the midst of my whine-session before a Mighty God, He spun the most beautiful reminder to me. At this very second there are countless miracles and endless details taking place in the “background” to prepare for all those things I’m longing for…every single detail of my Life (and the world around me) is already in place by His Hand; even though I can’t see or feel it yet. Now THAT’S something to celebrate!
It’s so easy to be inclined to rush things along in life,and it’s easy to whine about things that we have absolutely no control over if we’re not careful. But the same God who plants the seed of life in a frozen ground to prepare it to sprout in the Spring, is the God that already has all of the details of my life Planned out too! The same God who plants the seed of Life in the womb of a woman is the same God that already knows all of the Details of that new life AND He knows the final Destiny even before we know to take a pregnancy test. Life doesn’t exist by accident and it doesn’t thrive by fate. Whether that life is a tree, or a bug or a precious child…the Living God Created it all and He makes no mistakes. Every single intricate Detail for everything in our world was Designed, and it is forever “Managed”, by the Hand of a Mighty God.
As surely as I know that the Spring will come again soon, I know the Plans He has for me too, even though I can’t see all the Details yet. He knew Precisely when I would be born into this world, and He knows precisely when I’ll leave it. He already knew that I would Love Him, and that I’d be Willing Servant while I’m here…AND He knew how to mold me into His Vessel to be used for Eternal things. He already Knows each time I’ll falter and fail and He already Knows I’ll shout out my Victory story to the world after He sees me through the trial. Every single Detail of my Life is already in the Works….so, how can I NOT Celebrate what God has in store for me even though I can’t see or feel it yet?
How about you?
