Perspective…sometimes it is so easy to lose ours. We become so fixated on one thing that we fail to see the world flying by around us. It’s easy to get caught in the trap of the immediate. “Why is this happening? What’s wrong? When will things change?” Ever wondered what God was up to?

I know I have. My personality makes it hard for me to be patient and wait for God’s plan to unfold and it’s hard to see the benefit of the circumstances (opportunities) that God has placed me in. I sometimes feel like my life is in a thousand little pieces.

A thought that both comforts and scares me is this: God sees the end product.
Have you ever had to put together a children’s toy? Hundreds of little parts…black and white directions. Left only with those two things, the task would be overwhelming.

The first step I always take is to look at the picture of what I am supposed to be making…the final product. That way I understand why I am completing the multiple steps and I see how things will turn out if I follow the directions accurately.

I have often thought, “If I only had a glimpse of what is to come…what God was about to do, I would be ready.” The truth is, I probably would be terrified and ill- prepared. We have on more than a few occasions heard that we have a purpose in life. I am confident that God has a special plan for each of us and He created each of us uniquely to accomplish His plan and His purpose.

I have also learned that the journey is part of His plan and His purpose. This is God’s way of putting us together. The next time you are wondering about your personal journey, remember this simple thought: God see’s the end product.

Psalm 139:13-16“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
