The big picture

9/9/20
Today’s devotion for today is based on Romans 11:34, “Who has known the mind of the Lord.”

We live in a crazy, chaotic world. ‘What is God doing?’ It certainly can be challenging to understand what God is doing. The Bible often reminds us that God’s thoughts and ways are so much higher than our own. We do not always see the big picture of things. This can lead to frustration and anger when we do not understand why God allows certain things to happen. This, in turn, leads us to blame God or turn away from God.

We cannot always understand God’s plan or know the mind of the Lord. But as we see his plan for saving us through Jesus, we can be assured of his love for us and his intent to bless us. This means we can trust him. As events around us seem to spin out of control, trust that God has a plan. He loves you and has saved you and will continue to carry out his will with you in mind.

Please prays the prayer for today with me: Heavenly Father, creator, and sustainer of all things, seen and unseen, thank you for salvation in Jesus. While I do not always understand your plan, help me to trust you and your love for me. Please help me to know that you will always take care of me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen
