From one man he made all the nations, that they should
inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and
the boundaries of their lands.
-Acts 17:26
You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was
recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had
passed.
-Psalm 139:16
Two nights ago a brilliant white orb leapt up to be caught
in a tangle of shredded clouds. Earth’s shadow crept over its face while it
struggled to escape.
Oh, no, I might miss
the eclipse! I fretted.
Oh me of little faith. An hour or so later, the moon won the
struggle and blessed me with a stunning, uninterrupted view of its dusky red
surface.
Thank you, God. Thank
you that you had this moment planned out for me since you sent the moon and
earth spiraling around each other. Thank you that you know how much I care
about the moon’s phases and this eclipse.
And thank you, too,
that you have a plan for every day of my life. Not just the ones when I’m “winning”
the spiritual battle, but even a plan to redeem and use those down-and-out days
where all I want to do is cry and eat ice-cream.
Too many days, Satan ties a blindfold tightly over my mind,
and I do not see God’s daily storyweaving. But this day, God had a special date
for me.
What special time has God schemed up in your life recently?
I’d love to hear!
