We May Not See It Now, But...

“Do not forget this! Keep it in mind!
    Remember this, you guilty ones.

Remember the things I have done in the past.
    For I alone am God!
    I am God, and there is none like me.

Only I can tell you the future
    before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
    for I do whatever I wish."

Isaiah 46:8-10 

Have you ever taken a look at a Mosaic?  Have you ever watched an artist create a Mosaic?

The artist takes colored tiles, pottery, glass and breaks them into small pieces.  Then they will pick through the pieces and shards to find what fits their conceived design.  They each piece is fixed in place to create incredible images like the staircase above.  Each piece of mosaic art is extremely time consuming and labor intensive, not to mention mentally exhausting keeping the image in mind and focusing on making sure each piece is in place.  

The result of all that hard work and patience is breathtaking!  

Now.....we may not understand why we have to endure each event in our lives, but God does.  He is carefully and patiently making sure that each event is in just the right place at just the right time to shape our lives into the most amazing mosaic!

God NEVER makes mistakes!  He is ALWAYS with us, even, and especially, during the tough trials.  And His plans for us are going to be the art that someone else will see and be inspired by, because God never wastes an experience!

If you are going through a difficult, challenging, painful, or troubling time in your life, know that this is part of God's Mosaic called Your Life In Him!
