Connect the Dots

Twice in the past couple of weeks I've read two similar stories of God working in peoples lives.

In the most recent, one a young man and God are having a conversation. The young man is telling God how awful his day was, listing each thing that went wrong. By the end of the conversation he is ashamed of himself for complaining because, as he recounts his day, God tells him why each thing happened as it did, and in each case God was protecting him from harm.

We don't get the blow by blow to know why our days, good or bad, go the way they do, but God is ever in charge and guiding us.

Have you ever stopped to connect the dots? Think about an event in your life that changed you in some way. Go backwards and see if you can find others events that, in retrospect, helped the event come about to perfection.

God is always working with us. He always knows best. We need to learn not to fight Him. Let Him do His thing in your life and watch the dots connect.
