“God Is Able to Bring Our Focus”
by Dona Hake
Jesus said that each day will have its evils to deal with, and we are not to worry about our tomorrows. His Word says that the joy of the Lord is our strength, therefore there is always strength to live each day of our life, in the moment with Him. There is so much power in the simplicity of this truth. Praise God He has our future in His hands, and He will give us every bit of strength and vision we need to walk into our future.
I have been reflecting on how each one of our lives is like a tapestry. Each of us has been blessed uniquely with a life in Him. Carefully His tender hands formed us in the womb, and with that forming He designed a blueprint for our life. That perfect blue print is called His perfect will for our life.
Many times things may not go the way we thought they would in our minds. Behind every tapestry there are knots and hanging strings interwoven among the patterns of intricate beauty. A tapestry is a good analogy of our lives in progress. When we look behind it all there may seem to be times that things look random and chaotic, all we may see are the knots, imperfections, and the strings that do not seem to fit. So it is with our life, only God knows all that has gone on within us to make us the person we are today. Rejoice in who He has made you to be, and remember He is not finished with you yet!
While there will always be pain and hardship in this life we can most assuredly glean wisdom from every experience in the future. Every bump in the road can either be a stumbling block for a steppingstone. When your journey to your destination seems a bit foggy or it is not the road you planned to travel, just know that God is able to bring all of our tomorrow’s in into focus as we keep Him in the center of everything.
Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP)
For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you,
says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and
peace and not for evil, to give you hope
in your final outcome.
