God is at work in our lives to produce a beautiful tapestry. From our perspective here on earth we only see the back of the embroidery. But the front reveals a beautiful picture. We are looking at the underneath side and don’t understand why it looks so ugly, why it seems so confusing. It is impossible for us to understand all the different knots and colors and seemingly random directions our lives have taken.
But one day, we will finally be able to see from the top side this tapestry God has been weaving of us. We will then be able to see how the seasons of pain brought some rich, vibrant colors to our tapestry. We will see the fullness and richness of the design reflected in the seasons of joy and celebration. We will see the depth of character revealed through the times of testing and trusting. Therefore, we must continue to trust that He is at work and that He is working for our good!
God had never promised to Israelite that the journey to the Promised Land was going to be easy or without challenges. In fact, even in the Promised Land, they had to fight for it but one thing God did promise is that he will be with them. “for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9b).
Though what you are going through today maybe like the back of embroidery… not so pretty and confusing, but trust God and His wonderful plan for your life.
Have a blessed week!
