I’m finishing up the book of Ecclesiastes in my quiet times and I’m being uber encouraged by a couple things — the movement of God in my life even when I don’t see tangible change.
“Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.”
I don’t know the path of the wind — I feel it at times, but have the slightest clue as to where it came from or where it’s planning to head to. Is it still there? Yes. Faith is believing in the unseen, right?
The process of a baby being formed in the womb of it’s mother never fails to boggle my mind. Seriously! Who can explain it?! How do bones form? How does hair form? My genius science gurus would say DNA, and I would of course agree, but it’s deeper than that. How does DNA even form? Where does it originate from? Is it a crazy thought that even before a mother sees her child, that child is already fully known by God? Absolutely! What a thought.
These are just a few kind reminders the Lord has been giving me during my moments of weak faith, crippling fear of the unknown, and struggles trusting. Regardless of what I can tangibly feel or visually see, the Lord is still doing something. He is still creating and forming. He is working something in the back scenes for my good and His glory.
His glory.
His glory.
His glory.
Nope, that wasn’t a typo. Sometimes I need to remind myself that His glory is far more important than anything else in this life. So, let’s be encouraged that in the midst of the unseen, wind continues to blow and bones are being formed. We may not know the activity of God, even with all of our questions flying at Him left and right, but He is still working things out.
It is not that our questions are too hard for Him to answer, but rather, the answer He continues to bring us back to is Himself. Jesus is the answer. He is the answer to every unanswered question. He is worth every tear. He is worth every struggle.
Thanks God, for taking all of my punches and hearing all of my tantrums, yet still choosing to love and woo my heart in such a way that leaves me in awe of You.
