Beyond the Clouds

1 Peter 8:9 "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls"

It is important to know that just because you don't see something happening doesn't mean that it won't happen. Also, just because something looks a certain way NOW doesn't mean it's the finished product. Furthermore, just because we haven't seen God's face [yet] doesn't mean He doesn't have one or isn't real. Each morning as I leave home for work it is still dark outside, which doesn't give me much inclination as to what the weather will be for the day (because I rarely check the forecast). So, just the other day during my morning commute the skies were gray and it was raining. I gazed out the window while eating my breakfast to notice the skies were looking even worse than they had been during my commute so I decided I would check the forecast. Indeed, it predicted 100% rain ALL day. Then at around 10:30 I noticed the rain had subsided and clouds had started to form. By 11:00 the sky was beautifully blue and the sun had started shining resulting in a beautiful day. I can also recall another day about 3 years ago where I was stuck in an airport for about 6 hours due to inclement weather (mostly rain and wind). Once we boarded the plane and took off I noticed the most beautiful sky I had ever seen beyond those clouds and what was going on underneath them. 

I say all of that to get to this...what you see is not always what you get. Although God allows us to get to know Him, His ways will always surpass our full understanding. He and His works are not predictable. No man nor piece of technology created by man has the ability to tell us what God has in store. Things may start out a little rough and can even get ugly but as long as you allow God to have a hand in it it's destined to come out beautiful and bright. Happy Sunday!!!
