1 John 2:7-8
"Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining." NIV
We've often wondered where God was when darkness shrouded our lives The loss of loved ones, financial ruin, addictions, divorce, human tragedies caused by war, earthquakes, floods, fires, and disease.
It is always amazing to me to quietly reflect back in my "perfect hindsight" to those periods of darkness in my life. I can see and feel the results of God leading me through the dark even when I stumbled and fell in the darkness He lifted me and carried me to the light.
Sometimes when things are going wonderfully, I forget to let Him lead me and begin to rely on my own strengths to find the way Based on my "perfect hindsight" darkness is usually right around the corner. I need to rely on God's "perfect foresight" for my life's journey.
I've noticed that a bird with a broken wing won't try to fly out of my hands, Hmmmm Sounds familiar doesn't it.
Dear Lord, Help me realize that you will provide all things eternal that I need to get through each day and thank you for fixing my broken wing Amen
