Part of my job involves seasonal duties managing a drive-through Christmas light display. We setup and maintain hundreds of displays. After dark, I often walk through the course, ladder in hand, checking for burned out lights. Once in a while, I find myself climbing up in a display, changing lights, and wondering what in the world the display represents. I am too close to it, and cannot see the big picture.
You see, often we cannot the big picture of our lives; we cannot see our course as God sees it. All we see are a few bright spots, a few dark spots, a little color, or – sometimes – a big mess.
God, however, sees our entire lives. He knows our beginning and our end, our faults and our weaknesses, and He loves us as dearly as any father has ever loved a child.
We must only have faith that He is providing for us, caring for us, and protecting us, because He loves us and wants only the best for us… Even when we cannot see things from His perspective.
We Trust you God, even when we cannot see…
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. 1 Peter 1:8
