The Big Picture

From: The Word For Today - Bob Gass Ministries

James 4:14 "You are a vapor that appears briefly and then vanishes."

John Walker writes: "We manage, waste, spend and save time. We wish it would come… we wish it would pass… we see it fly and we feel it drag. God controls time.

We're surprised by unexpected developments… God's never surprised, even by the most disastrous turn of events.

How would your faith be if you knew God wasn't surprised by your circumstances and is working towards a holy and healthy conclusion? How would you act, think, and live differently if you were absolutely certain God was at the end of your deadline… even if there were only seconds left?

The Bible says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). Time doesn't diminish His love or His power to work within your life. He was there in the past, He's here now, and He will be there in your future. A thousand years are like a day to Him. (2 Peter 3:8). He's interested in bringing you into eternity, not just getting you through until the weekend."

When you see it like that, it changes the big picture, doesn't it?
