"Blessed is the Man who makes the Lord, his trust." --Psalm 40:4
As I read from Elizabeth Elliot's book today, she was giving an illustration of faith. She had a picture of a large black scorpion on the screen from when they were in Ecuador. She said beyond it was a yard surrounded by large palm trees and a beautiful pineapple garden which was not evident in the photo. Faith, is being able to see past the ugly things in our lives to see the "bigger picture" and the bigger things that God is doing in our lives. Also, just as Jesus spoke the word "Peace" to calm the Sea, he is also able to speak the word into our lives to calm any situation.
Lord, please give me strength to see past the events of my own life to see what you are doing.
It is always helpful to take a step back and try to see the "big picture" ... although not always easy.
