In our last Bible Study we talked the big pictures of our lives. Some look at it like pieces of our puzzles, or for the more artistic brush strokes of the painting, or more techy pixels of the digital picture. So no matter what way you use to picture your life, there are parts that we can and cannot see as God lays it out in His good (sometime seemingly slow) timing.
Some pieces of the puzzle are figuratively full of sunshine or aka the good/easy times of our lives, the top of the mountain. Others like the season of summer are sunny literally, but also come with the added responsibility of freedom (at first glance oxymoron like, but looking broader it makes sense). Just like the yearly calendar we have colder and wetter seasons; there are also pieces of our lives that are more challenging, the valleys. Often when we are in these time we can only see the rain drops/hardships, but looking at the bigger picture we can remember “who pours the rain”. A real life example is the much avoided topic but very struggled with issue of saving sex for marriage. In the moment this may only seem like a “rule” meant to keep us from hard things like hurt, diseases, and unplanned pregnancies. But this is more like loving help from God also brings us to amazing things like being able to celebrate the pregnancy of a baby whole heartedly with a spouse and without the additional worries. God didn’t create this to simply keep us away from sex, but to give it to us in its Best form!
This is just one pieces of the intricate puzzle of our lives. There are many other parts of our lives we don’t’ understand & good chance is because we simply again need to offer to trust God is doing this and asking that of us, because our God has great things ahead of us according to His plan!
