Foresight
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. Isaiah 64:4
Some days seem long. Even longer are the days we are waiting for things to change. During such times God’s faithfulness has always encouraged me. As I would sit with Him, read, relate and pray, He would give me strength. Time and again, He walked me through circumstances proving that I did not need to pray for things or people to be different to be at peace. His largest concern was that I accept his gifts and believe I needed Him more than anything I could hear, see, touch or smell, in order to could keep my peace.
Without some of those, seemingly, immovable obstacles I would not have experienced the depths of His faithfulness. Without those deep experiences, I would not have had the stamina to rise above the challenges. Through these challenges my eyesight expanded, and I received insight. As my vision corrected my perceptions of situations and people were no longer distorted by fear, but perfected in love.
I’m sure there are obstacles down my road. But, in Him I trust I will see these object as they are, opportunities: to see better, view greater expanses and envision new things which alone would be beyond my comprehension.
