Romans 11:33-36 (ESV)
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?" "Or who has given a gift to him that he might by repaid?" For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen
Oh the depth of our Heavenly Father! And we as true women (and men) are doing well when we realize that the God we serve is bigger than us. We can't possibly know everything that He is doing and why, but we can trust that He is in control and He knows why He is doing what He is doing!
In each and every circumstance of our lives God is doing an amazing work. We don't know everything, but we do know that He has revealed to us exactly what we need to know! Nothing more, nothing less....
We don't understand God's plans sometimes, but how many times is it that through the very times we struggle to understand why we are going though hardships that we grow to know our Heavenly Father so much better!
True women (and men) trust God's definition of good and not their own and know that He can use the good the bad and the ugly of their pasts for His glory! Nothing is beyond what God can use for His glory!
Many times we stuggle with our past, but let us all remember that God allowed everything that come into our paths and He has a good purpose for each of us to fulfill through what we have experienced! As we move forward we need not to let our experiences shape us, but let us shape our experiences through God and His Word!
Since we are convinced that from Him, through Him, and to Him are all things - let us go our about our daily lives intentionally looking for opportunities to use what He has given us. We can know and trust that He is in control, everything is being filtered by him, and for His greater purpose will everything be used!
What a blessing that God, who is so much bigger than us, can use us, who are so small, to be a part of His Great Big Plan!
Working Humbly for Him!
