The Big Picture.

Readings for 10/2/15 – Jeremiah 28-30, Isaiah 20.

Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Lord God, how great is your care for us.  In your wisdom you see the big picture, you see all things working together in every place and in every time – past, present and future.  You see how it all works together for good, to help me, to give me hope and a future.  I admit that I don’t always see it that way.  I am more often in the moment, more often concerned about what I’m seeing and experiencing.  But you have more in mind as you care about me and direct my life.  You see me and everyone else.  You see the whole picture and you see how it all connects and grows into a beautiful tapestry.  What you see and how you lead me is good.  Lord God, thank you for ruling my life like this.  Help me trust you and find comfort hearing and knowing these words.  Amen.
