It's Not My Story

I have been reminded again over the past week that God is not making this “life thing” up as we go along.   He already knows the end of the story.  He knew the entire story before he spoke the world into creation.  He is not bound by time as we are.   He does not age.  He will not die.  He is “already there”, as the new Casting Crowns song reminded me.  To Him, our future is like the past.  The trials, which my family experiences, are no surprise to the Omniscient, Omnipresent and Omnipotent God.   He is working these events for our good and His glory.  My finite mind cannot truly comprehend this.   I, too often, have trouble seeing past the end of day and how the health issues fit into the “big picture”.    But, I have a feeling that when I am able to look back at the works God has done through my family, I will be amazed at how it all just “fit” together.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.  (Rom 8:28 NASB)

I needed to be reminded that it’s not my story.  It’s His story.

Camping and Osteen

Harold's at it again. 

Two different takes on the same interview of Joel Osteen by Piers Morgan.   A positive review and a not so positive review.
