Paint My Picture

Today’s Scripture

Jeremiah 29:11-13

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Thoughts

When I sit down to paint, I may be staring at a blank canvas but my mind is already seeing the beautiful picture in front of me. I can see all the details and colors. My husband comes up behind and is confused. He has no idea where I am going. Even when I put my brush to the canvas and he watches it swish around, it takes awhile to see an image appear. It isn’t until I am totally finished that he can see the same image which was in my head the entire time.

Our life is very much like my painting. God has this perfect image in His head. He sees every single detail and knows exactly how to make each stroke swish across the canvas. We simply need to sit back and follow the picture emerge. It does us no good to grab His had or steal the brush. The painting will not come out right. He knows the plans He has for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Let the artist paint your picture!

Prayer…
