Life never sits still. It is always going forward no matter what we are doing. Each event builds on top of another. My goal was to read/study Matthew during Lent but I am going so slowly that it may take until July to complete it. But, it isn't a race.
Yesterday I was reading about the wisemen seeing the star and Herod's involvement. Besides the lesson of our actions impacting many, many others, there is the awesome reminder of how God is constantly active in each event in our lives. "God warned them in a dream..." so that they would not go back and tell Herod where Jesus was. I stayed focused on how much He leads us, prepares us, and protects each one of us.
Remember Joseph and his trust in God? "God turned into good what you meant for evil. He brought me...so I could..." Then in Romans, "we know that God causes everything to work together for the good..." And in Psalm 30, "Joy comes in the morning...turned my mourning into joyful dancing..."
Wow! In my life this has been so true! Who would have thought that with all of my mess ups and poor choices that I'd be going so far from home? Each event in my life has made me stronger, more dependent on Him, and has turned into good. God is allowing me to have this fantastic adventure and I know that He has great things in store for me. All I can say is "Thank-You for allowing me to do this!" And thank-you to all who are praying. Thank-You!
