I was thinking about a scripture to go with what I want to blog about tonight...thankfully I opened facebook and someone had posted a scripture that fits perfectly...granted its out of context.... but I think its still applicable.
John 13:7 [NLT]
Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”
Jesus was talking to Peter when He said this, but so often I think we, as individuals, need to hear these words too.
I remember a friend once telling me, when I was having a "i-dont-get-it" moment, that sometimes God tells us that we are going from Point A to point B, just to get us moving, to get us to leave the harbour because once we are moving he can steer the vessel to Point C which was where He really needed us to be. If we are stagnant and not moving, He can't redirect or guide or steer...and sometimes if He told us Point C was really the destination, we would be too scared and would never set sail.
It kind of makes sense, but also kind of doesn't....but I guess as finite man we will never truly grasp the ways of an infinite God. You see the truth is God is a bit like a giraffe....we are the ground dwellers, and as such have a limited view of things...But He towers above and gets to see the whole picture.
The reason this is on my heart....is because I have recently had a strange answer to prayer [though the conclusion is still in the pipeline...]. It made me realise that God works in his own way, accord to His will and His word....and like I wrote about yesterday, it might seem completely wrong...but that doesn't negate Him accomplishing His purpose.
There is someone I am trusting to have removed from my proximity. I have confronted, and prayed and thrown in boundaries and the situation seems to be worsening. Then on top of it, a person i really dont want to see leave my proximity had to suddenly pack and go. . . I remember even saying to God, "Wrong person....the other one is who I asked you to remove." it was frustrating and confusing ...and I was starting to get really irritated by the situation not being resolved.....
Today I realised that because the person I dont want to move, has to move....it has created a situation where the bad person has to move due to finances.... its interesting how God used the one situation to effect the change into the situation I wanted changed....but at one point it looked contrary to what I had asked for.... You just never full know what He is up too....but you can guarantee its for your good. So take heart, and don't loose faith.
