Have you ever looked endlessly for something with no success, only to move one thing seemingly unrelated and find what you were trying to find? This happens often in life and there are usually a series of frustrations that happen in the search. This happened a few weeks ago as I was cleaning up broken glass. I carefully searched and swept to make sure there were no pieces left that could cause harm. Sometime later I noticed a piece that did not get removed. I walked by that area multiple times in between and never saw anything. I happened to shift something in that area and then noticed the glass.
That happens often in life. We search tirelessly for something and end up disappointed because we cannot find it, whether it is an object we need or a different situation than the one where we find ourselves. I was reminded when I saw the glass how suddenly God can bring about the things we are looking for when we submit to Him. He is not bound by what we can see-He sees so much more! When we put our faith and trust in Him, He will direct our steps on the right path to the right thing for us. We spend so much time trying to change our own circumstances when all we have to do is put our faith in Him, and He will move us in the right direction. How much time and energy do we waste trying to do it ourselves? Hebrews 11 highlights many times acts of faith brought about changes to circumstances. Take some time today to read Hebrews 11 to remind yourself that you don’t just have to survive. You can thrive when you act on your faith!
