Zoom Out And See God’s Big Picture.

God has an amazing plan for our lives. But at times we can get so engrossed in the now, the present

and forget that God is moving in our lives.

We need to learn to regularly take a step back or zoom out.

I was given a picture of this as I played a game. The game is called, Guess The Picture.

And the point of the game is to decipher a magnified picture as quick as you can.

The game is best played with a group of people.

In the beginning, you can’t make out the picture because it is magnified to the max but when

the game starts the picture begins to zoom out and the picture gets clearer and clearer.

And that’s what happens when we are so zoomed in. The picture makes no sense because

it’s a blur.

But as we take a step back and look at the answered prayers, the breakthroughs, the things

God has done for us, we begin to realize that God really is in control. He knows exactly what

we are going through. Taking a step back strengthens our faith as we see God’s faithfulness.

But also remember that God is working through the tests and trials we face. They are not

meaningless or pointless.

Think about a an image for a moment.

What makes an image? Pixels right.

An image is comprised of millions of pixels.

But this is the thing, without pixels, there is no image. A picture cannot exist without pixels.

Pixels play a very important role in the formation of a picture and that is the same in our lives.

The difficult times, the trials, the tests, all have a purpose. We are learning to trust God more.

We are experiencing His faithfulness and greatness in the hard times.

We are growing in the midst of intense opposition.

So don’t disregard what you are going through today. It’s not meaningless or pointless.

God is working in the midst of the tests, trials and hardships. Trust Him.

As I close I want to remind you that God is at work in your life, even in the times when it doesn’t

seem like it. Take a step back and see His hand in every aspect of your life.

The stone the Angel rolled away!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could embalm Him. Very early on Sunday morning, as the sun rose, they went to the tomb. They worried to each other, “Who will roll back the stone from the tomb for us”? Mark 16:1-3

“They worried to each other, “Who will roll back the stone from the tomb for us”?

This seemed like a very petty issue but let me assure you, it wasn’t. The stone weighed about 2 tons according to studies made so that means the women had no hope of moving that stone. What struck me about this story was why such a seemingly meaningless concern was mentioned in the bible. Who cares about a stone?

The women had a concern which seemed meaningless but it wasn’t. An angel rolled the stone away! Their concern wasn’t too small for God. He helped them by sending an angel to roll it away!!

This shows me that no request is too small for God. It seemed like a small thing but it wasn’t and God took it seriously! What concerns do you have? You can bring them to God, no matter how big or small, He wants to help.
