Hole in the Fence

I love in the verse today how it says that “God has made everything beautiful for its own time.” It doesn’t really matter whether others believe that about you or not.

None of us are aware of everything that is in the “Big” picture of our lives. Everyone only see what is right in front of them.

It reminds me of an illustration of a person looking through the hole in a fence. They can only see what their eye allows them to see. If that is a dismal image, it can cause them to think the whole situation is horrible. When in reality the scene is breathtakingly beautiful. They just need to see the whole picture, not the limited view. Knowing that we have a hope for our future that comes from our faith in God gives us a glimpse of that picture.

Don’t ever look at yourself as a failure. Especially don’t listen to the naysayers. Some folks take pleasure in making light of your success.

When we view our successes, we must make sure we understand that the current situation we are seeing could be us looking through the hole in the fence. We need to see ourselves as God sees us.

We need to step back and see how our small successes turn into big ones. Don’t get distracted…stay focused and on course.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 NLT

[11] Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
