The Masterpiece

I am so glad that God is in control. Half the time I have no idea what he is doing, but I just have to remember that he is in control, he is sovereign, and that his plan is best. The other day I got to thinking about it, and I realized that life is like a painting. When an artist is painting a picture, each individual brush stroke doesn't make sense by itself, but only in the context of the painting. So it is with life. Certain brush strokes, events, and circumstances sometimes don't make sense to us, but if we could just wait, trusting that God is at work and all the little things will soon come together into a beautiful masterpiece, we will be so much better off than when we are questioning each of the Artist's strokes. Even though there are many times when I question what is happening or why, at the end of the day I always come back to this place of peace, knowing that I don't have to worry about anything, because God's plan is so much better than mine anyways. And that's really just the bottom line. Worrying is useless, and not trusting is a waste of time. God is good, all the time. And he is making my life into a masterpiece, because he is the master artist.
