Devotional Sharing

I find today's Daily Bread passage pretty inspiring and I want to share it with all of you.

Read: Isaiah 55:6-9

"Visiting Alaska for the first time, I was excited that we were staying at the Mt. McKinley Lodge. As we were checking in, I caught a glimpse of a mass of rock through a large picture window, and I hurried out to the deck facing the mountain. 'Wow, ' I murmured softly as I took in the view. A man standing a few feet away said, 'Uh...that ain't it!' As I discovered that day, visitors to Alaska often miss seeing all of ' The Great One.' Standing at 20,320 feet, the mountain is so tall that most of it is hidden on cloudy days. I was seeing only a part of the whole.

Often we're satisfied with our limited view of life.........With God's omniscient, panoramic view, He sees the people He wants us to help, the things He wants us to accomplish, the character traits He wants to develop in us.

Proverbs 16:9 says, 'A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.' Our view of life is restricted by our humanness, but we can trust ourselves to the One who has an unlimited veiw!" Quoted from July 18's Daily Bread, written by Cindy H. Kasper

Too often I cannot see the whole picture because my eyesight is far too dim and narrow. Or sometimes I am too busy to listen to His voice. I pray that I can simply trust Him and know He will have a good plan on me.
