What do you do when God throws you a curve that you cannot even come close to hitting?
There is this windex commercial where the sliding glass door is so clean that the man of the house thinks it is open and walk right into is. Have you ever felt that way? You have prayed, fasted and sought God’s direction, took a few steps where you think you are to go and WHAM! – you run into the glass door.
You heart, mind, emotions and spirit are confused and your soul is bruised. It seems that God has caused it all. The questions abound: “What is going on?” or “Why is that happening?” You discover that there are no answers and silence seems to greet your prayers.
We must realize that this is where faith and trust in God must enter into the picture. Will you continue to believe? Will you still trust in God? Do you believe that God has your best interests at heart? Doubt has a part in building a great faith. Only a bruised and broken faith can be rebuilt into a deeper, richer and stronger faith.
God is being seen in a new and different way. A new view of God’s greatness and love can only be shaped when the old view gets broken and the pieces rearranged.
It is so easy to get all wrapped up in oneself and one’s needs. We must get all wrapped up in Jesus. God is working to shape a truer image of Himself and a truer image of us in our hearts and spirits.
We learn that the curve was not supposed to be hit. It is to be admired and enjoyed.
