The Lord has been showing me pieces of my life after the Race. It’s like a puzzle. We are working on the border, I’ve been given a corner piece, but that’s all I can see. My vision is what the Lord has asked to given up for a week. I am near sighted; meaning that if it is right in front of my face I can see it and all its details. Beyond that everything else is out of focus. I can see shapes and colors, enough to get through the day, but it is tiring. It takes energy to see more than what I can. That is what has been happening, I’ve been going beyond what I can see. Trying to do the middle of my puzzle without him; it’s exhausting. God knows every detail of my life… I don’t need to. The Bible says that he has a plan for me (Jeremiah 29:11-13).What a beautiful promise. Those verses say,
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
Seek hime, that is all he asks of me. To pick up my cross (Matthew 10:38) and seek him. I am human, I fail at this more times than I care to admit. I live in a fallen world, life really sucks sometimes. But God loves me enough, despite my sin, to design a beautifully detailed puzzle for my life. Like all puzzles, it takes time to complete. I get to walk through life with a Mighty God. I choose to seek him whether I can see or not.
Walking by faith.
This is day 1 of my week fast. Please pray for me as I lean on the Lord this week and grow closer in my relationship with him.
