Romans 8:28 “We know that all things work
together for the good of those who love God, those who are called according to
His purpose.”
Sometimes it is hard for me to comprehend that God can
control the universe. Out there beyond
what I can see, the universe is full of cosmic events-stars exploding; comets
crisscrossing paths with asteroids; and our planets perfectly placed around the
sun. Here on earth, life for billions of
people goes on daily. There are major
economic issues, wars, illness, births, and much more yet God perfectly plans
the events in His grand scheme.
It is really difficult to imagine that God knows every
detail of my life and that He has a purpose for every one of them. For a while I could not understand why God
would move us from our ministry in Tennessee.
However, He knew that shortly after arriving at our new ministry here in
Arkansas that my mom would be told she only had a few months to live and be
placed in hospice care. I certainly can’t
understand why our house in Tennessee has not sold but God knows I cannot drop
caring for Mom in order to relocate to a new house right now. Then of course, we live in a temporary home
that is fully furnished from towels or pots and pans and all we have to do is
pay utilities. God knew that in the
midst of Mom’s illness I would not be able to work and that there would be no
way we could pay rent and a mortgage. Yes,
He even knows the dark days when discouragement or weariness takes root in my
life because it never fails I receive a sweet card from a friend or a bag of M
& Ms (my favorite) from a church member.
Yes, God has a grand scheme for His creation and He knows
every detail of our lives. I would love
to hear how God is directing your life in His grand scheme.
