The Savior’s Beautiful Plan
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you…”
Ephesians 1:18
I remember the time I was sitting curbside (in pain) waiting for my ride? And across the way was a line of big, tall trees. It was very windy, and I became mesmerized by the way the trees kinda like swayed with rhythm. With each hard breeze, another wave rippled across maybe 30 trees in a row.
And as I stared, I saw myself as…one little leaf on one of those trees, being battered and tossed, and ripped this way and that, not seeing how I fit in the grand scheme of things; not grasping how my violent tossings were part of this beautiful, symphonic wave of trees.
Life is like that. And if you are a little leaf – like I was that day – feeling all is crazy – anchor your stem to Ephesians chapter 1. ‘Cause God works out everything according to his plan. So hang on there, little leaf; you fit in the beautiful symphonic plan of your beautiful Savior.
