Sunday Reflection: Moments to the Big Picture
So often, in difficult times,
we focus on a moment of crisis instead of the big picture, asking God to
change "it" to suit our immediate needs instead of doing what is best
for us.
We are focused on that moment in time.
I've been there, where I tell
God how to do His job as "Maker of heaven and earth".
Pretty arrogant of me to think I know best. Then
time passes and just like today I see that His decision for me was the only
way that I could have come out of that situation for the better. It’s the way I would
have wanted it had I been thinking like God in that terrible moment in time.
Moments, good or bad, are drops of time, never the whole picture of our life.
Psalm 121
"I lift up my eyes to the
mountains—where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of
heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches
over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither
slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you—the Lord is your
shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by
night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—he
will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both
now and forevermore." Psalm 121
It's not easy to keep our eyes on the Lord, who knows what to do and and when to do it, but thats how it works. Faith.
Blessings,
Teresa
