A lot happens which we cannot see and, even if we could, we would probably not understand. I was listening to a radio segment last night while I washed dishes...it was David Jeremiah and he was talking about prophecy and some of the fulfillment of it during our lifetimes. During that talk so many thoughts were spinning in my mind about our world and this upcoming election for those of us living in the United States....we've heard all kinds of predictions of the world having "the last pope" now, the Muslims seeking and trying to usher in the 12th Imam....and, I know that many other generations have felt like they were in the last days...but what if we ARE living in that time? I love pondering over these theories and probably find conspiracies too thrilling... I just have this feeling that our focus on this election is just some small dialogue scene playing out downstage while something AWESOME (and that could be taken as great or terribly awesome, but still magnificent and praiseworthy in the whole picture)...is being set to UPSTAGE it.
A couple years ago I was frustrated with some things happening at work and I had an opportunity to discuss these concerns with a consulting group privately. I didn't really like the answer I received, but it has played over in my mind for a while. They told me sometimes you have to break something just so that you can fix it. I wanted to just tweak a few things to avoid breaking it completely, but we had tried a few things and those "fixes" weren't enough. I have also heard of physical healing procedures which require breaking, resetting, and healing....I guess as I have thought this over again and again I have just realized the importance of having the right person ready to fix it....someone who is trustworthy....committed to the good of all involved.
We look to our elected officials or those vying for positions of power and we wonder....can they fix this or that....will they try to fix it or are they intending to break it....are they being truthful.....are they committed to our good as a nation or is there another agenda at work here? I don't know the answer to that....however, that leads me to the personal question....do I trust God to break me/us if necessary for my/our healing? Do I trust that He is good regardless of what I see in front of me and do I believe that yes, this is a part of His story, but not the final scene.
Because, if I believe He is good and has the BEST plan for me/us....then I need to be patient, faithful, and trusting when He is setting up for something....and believe that it is miraculous, it is redemptive, it is glorious!
