I think I am finally figuring out what life is all about.
God takes a long view of our lives and the events of the world. He has a reason for every little thing that happens because He sees how it fits in the big picture.
We are privileged to see just a glimpse of the big picture as God reveals it to us in the Bible. (Actually, if we take the time to study the Bible, God actually lets us in on a lot of what He knows and sees.)
In my daily life and decisions, I am to live according to principles and commands in the Bible.
In this way, the little piece of my life accomplishes and contributes to God’s big plan.
If I do not obey God, I miss out on the good stuff that is a part of God’s plan.
God’s forgiveness and mercy mean when I make mistakes, He fixes them and realigns everything accordingly.
He takes a micro and a macro view, and puts it all together.
Who else can do that but…well, God!
I think that’s pretty amazing.
