Re:Verse passage – John 9: 1-3 (day five)
“This happened so the power of God could be seen in him.” v. 3b
How often do we tend to focus on the small picture right in front of us? Weekly? How often do we get stuck looking at the circumstances or areas that God has called us to, wishing that we were somewhere else or doing something else? Daily? How often do we get stuck wondering why God made us {insert your own answer here}? Hourly?
As humans, we have a predisposition to lose focus on the bigger picture (God’s picture) because of our limited perspective. We forget the Creator and that He created us for His purpose with a bigger story in mind. We may not understand the purposes that He has, but we can trust that God, the Creator, knows exactly what He is doing and for what purpose He created us. When we turn our focus to the bigger picture and to the narrative that God is writing for our lives, it helps us let go of the worries or misplaced focus we have. A correct focus helps us get to a place where we can truly say, “I don’t understand it, but I trust Him.”
Maybe you are struggling with {insert your own answer here} so the power of God could be seen in you. You were created in His image on purpose for His purpose!
