Hello Everyone

God has the panoramic view. Psalm 33:13-15. I recall flying into Sydney one afternoon and from my seat in the air, the earth below looked like a miniature toy play scene. I could see the city grid and the people who looked like miniature figurines. I could see where the roads started and finished, the detours and where they re-joined the main arterial roads, and the varying vehicles driving along like tiny matchbox cars. This panoramic view reminded me that God has the panoramic view of life. He sees all of life from the beginning to the end; He sees us before we were formed in our mother’s womb, all our days on the earth and our dwelling with Him in eternity. Psalm 139:16.

At God’s appointed time we all enter the world, step into the tracks of history and journey through our appointed days, leaving an indelible footprint on life. We live between two posts on God’s Kingdom timeline here on earth: our birth post and the finishing line post. We are gifted with life and invited into God’s story to embrace His will and purpose. It is a sacred space that God has beautifully etched out and uniquely crafted for us to dwell in for a particular span of time. During this time, we can’t see forward, but we can look upwards, knowing that God has the panoramic view, and we can trust Him to engineer all our days in His faithfulness and love. CS Lewis said, “If you picture time as a straight line along which we have to travel, then you must picture God as the whole page on which the line is drawn.”[1] God has the panoramic view and marks out all of life and holds it with the span of His hands.

God flawlessly holds the line of our lives in His masterly hands as He directs our steps. He is the only one capable of connecting our past, present, and future, keeping us continually joined to His main arterial Kingdom heart and Kingdom plans. Knowing God has the panoramic view means we can live with assurance in this broken world, and we can trust Him moment by moment for all our days.

So, friends, get your “God view” on today.

 

Best days to come.
Wen
