What an unusual picture! This plane is actually viewed from many directions- all at the same time. But, what if the plane represented your life and each bubble a possibility. The world would still be the same, but your choice of a bubble would make all the difference, wouldn’t it?
As I viewed this picture, I thought of yesterday’s reading from the book of Acts, which said….
Acts 16 ( World English Bible )
1 He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Coincidentally, I read Jeremiah 9 and 10 as well, which said…
Jeremiah 10 ( WEB )
23 Yahweh, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
God gives us all a variety of choices, but whether we seek God’s will is our choice. If we continually seek God’s will in our lives, we will be directed by him and our lives will be better for it. But don’t boast about that, but rather boast about this…
Jeremiah 9 ( WEB )
23 Thus says Yahweh, Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, don’t let the rich man glory in his riches;
24 but let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, says Yahweh.
Don’t glory (we could very well substitute the word boast for this) in what you have or have done in this world, but rather how well you know God, the creator and sustainer of the universe! Do this and you definitely be headed in the right direction!
