Big Part of the Master Plan

 And the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day and are watchful to do them.     

Deuteronomy 28:13

 I woke this morning with this verse on my mind.


Lately my times with the Lord have been times of challenge... of spurring on towards bigger, greater, broader. I have been challenged to view life through HIS eyes, which is not limited. I tend to get so caught up in what I see, what I feel, what I read, what I observe.  I filter through my experiences. I take my lessons from the life I live. Often forgetful that my life is so very small in the grand scheme of the world structure. 

When my view is made up of my life, my focus becomes narrow and navel gazing ensues. As I read this verse this morning my eyes opened and I saw the bigness of the Lord, His promises ran through my mind, the songs of Psalms fast-forwarded through my heart, stories of His goodness, His majesty, the way HE connects the generations.... A master plan unfolded / unfolding. It speaks of nurture and care, intentional timing. I am a part of that master plan. 

Suddenly the words "the Lord shall make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall be above only, and you shall not be beneath"  are BIG words. Life changing words. Thought altering words. My view of my day suddenly changed. My vision expanded.

 He has called us to be the head and not the tail. We shall be above and not beneath. 

Breathe it in.....
