A Close-Up or an Overall View?

 God

We are not able to comprehend the big beautiful picture that God is creating in our lives.

Reinhold Messner was a skilled mountain climber who was recognized as the best in the world. He was one of two men who first climbed Mount Everest without using bottled oxygen. Messner then decided that doing it with a partner was not good enough, so he went back and did it alone. He was asked, as most mountain climbers are, “Why do you do it?” He replied, “Because at the top all the lines converge.”

Even though we may not always have the “view from the top,” it is a great encouragement to know that God does! He is sovereign! He has said, “I am the Lord. I do not change!” (Malachi 3:6). Because He sees the “overall picture,” He is worthy of our trust!
