Big Picture.

Have you ever seen a movie based on a book you've read?

When something bad happens, the whole audience gasps, basically sucking the air out of the theater. But not you. Because you've read the book. You know how it all plays out. You know how the good guy gets out of the tight spot in the end.

I think this is how God views our lives, with that same confidence of knowing the outcome. The difference is, He didn't read your story, He wrote it.

Sometimes we have a tendency to make a big deal out of not so big things.

What we count as a complete disaster, God sees as a tiny little issue that will pass.

Why? Because He knows the outcome of your story. He sees the big picture. And He's asking you to trust that the little speed bumps in your life, the mole hills that you see as mountains, will not only pass, but lead you to a life of recognizing the power and glory of God.
