Good Morning All,
Isaiah 55:9; “For as the
heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Do you ever watch the TV commercials that
show someone or something walking through a maze? We always get to watch from
above and look down on the maze. It looks so easy from above; you can see every
corner and every straight path. When we look down from the top, we can give all
kinds of advice and point out which path to take and which is a dead end.
When you are in the maze, it seems to be
almost impossible. We look and
everything looks the same; whether I go left or right there does not seem to be
much difference. I cannot tell what is beyond the next wall. Even if I am going
through the maze with someone else; we still cannot see over or around the
walls. It can be really frustrating.
Our life is very much like a maze. We can
only see right in front of us and a little behind us. Yet even where we have
been is more about memory than vision. Yet as we go forward, we wonder about
other directions or other choices. As we experience life, we do not see ahead. So
we travel in one of two ways; either by fear or by faith.
The world will want you to travel by fear.
The world wants you to always wonder, to always question and to always doubt. The
world wants you to always ask questions like why? Why does this happen to me? Why
do all the good things go to them and not to me? Why do I always get the short
end of the deal? These and dozens of other questions will haunt us and allow
the devil to play cruel attacks on us. Each time we go down a path; the devil
torments us and makes us walk with fear and great in trepidation. This is how
most people walk through the maze of their life.
God comes to you and me with a different
plan. God sets above all and aids us, guides us, and blesses us as we go
through our maze. We have to trust God when he tells us that all things work
for good for those who love Him. We may
never see where we all are heading but we have to trust God and his
promises. This can be tough when it
seems like all our choices are losing choices. The thing we need to always
remember is that we are God’s redeemed children always and forever. We may not
see how we are getting through our life, but we will make it through this life
to eternal life with Jesus. This is God’s promise to us to be with us, to
comfort us and to give us hope and to show us his mercy. We must have faith
that God will continue to guard us, to protect us, and to always give us hope.
Dear Father, too often
we do not see the answer, so we fail to trust your steadfast love. Give us the
courage to live the life which you give to us. Give us the comfort in knowing
that all occurs under your watchful eye and that your grace for your children
never dies. In Jesus’ precious name we pray, amen.
God’s Peace,
Pastor Bret
