“He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him.” (Ephesians 1:9 NAS)
I don’t know about you but I find life pretty baffling at times. Whether trying to make my marriage work, raising kids, my career, health, this blog. Frankly there are a lot times I just don’t get it.
I look around at other people who seem to have it so much more together. And I think, “What’s wrong with me? They seem so much further ahead.”
Often it’s easy to give up. I think, “I’m just not smart enough, talented enough or spiritual enough to break through.”
And you know what that’s probably true. But also it doesn’t fix anything.
Which is when I remember that God promised he would unlock all of the mysteries of this life. He would reveal to me his secrets. He would give me a behind the scenes tour.
Yet, he doesn’t do this begrudgingly because I bug him enough or live perfectly enough or have amazing faith. He lets me in on inside track just because he loves me and it brings him a whole lot of pleasure to see me happy.
Kind of like the joy we feel when we see our kids happy.
And you know what else? It works. I can’t tell you how but I’ve had so many mysteries unlocked I count on it now.
How about you?
