Every Angle

Sometimes, all we can see in our life’s picture is one tiny pixel. Sometimes it’s in HD but sometimes it’s not even standard definition. But God can see the whole picture. Even the parts that have yet to be filled in. He doesn’t see in 4k or 8k. He sees in infinite k because He’s infinite. He has wide color gamut and He can thoroughly saturate our life with the richest, deepest and most vivid details.

When Elijah fled from Jezebel, he thought he was the only one of God’s servants left but God had seven thousand other people faithful to Him. All Elijah could see was his little corner of the picture. Sometimes we can feel that way. Like we’re the only one going through this. But God has things going on in other places we’re not aware of and we just need to trust Him.

All we can see is our little pixel. We can feel so alone but God always has a remnant- a reserve. Many people set aside for Him to use at strategic moments. And really, the parts that have yet to be filled in, I think He’s already filled them in we just don’t have the right angle to see it. Like those pictures that if you look at them straight on show one thing but if you move to the side they show something else. We only see our life from one angle but He sees it from every angle. He’s got it all filled in and He’s leading us so we can be positioned to see it from another angle and realize that was there all the time. We have to trust that we’re not alone. Just because we feel alone doesn’t mean we are.  

Part of seeing that big picture is knowing that He can use other people to minister to my children. I have an older daughter. Her mom and I are divorced. I knew that eventually my ex-wife would get married again. So, I started praying that she would marry a good, Godly man who would be good for her and our daughter. Six years later she did get married again and the guy she married is a good, Godly man. He’s been a good for her and our daughter.

They live in another state and so when my daughter was visiting her mom, there would be times when she was having difficulties and her step-dad was able to help her in that situation. At first, I wasn’t happy about that but I came to realize that my daughter is ultimately God’s child. He can use whoever He pleases to help my daughter. Instead of getting upset about another man helping my daughter through some teen-age problems and things, I should be thankful that God was looking out for her and putting a Godly step-dad in her life to help. 

So, the big picture is that God can use whoever He wants to help your children because they’re ultimately His children and we should thankful that He is looking out for them. We must remember that we only see things from one angle or perspective. God sees it from every perspective and we’re never alone or forgotten.
