Looking Back


Whether we look back over a year or a lifetime, it is man’s tendency to consider life as not enough. It holds such disappointments in memory that we scramble to make better plans for the future.
From the temptation in the garden until now when the serpent whispered in Eve’s ear, “Don’t you want more? You deserve it.”, we listen to the enemy’s lie. Doubting God’s ability to know what is best for us.
We grab the reigns back and try and do it on our own. The same thing Eve did in the garden.
It never turns out well.  
When you reflect on 2014, remember that even in the midst of our imperfect efforts, offenses from others, abuses and tragedies, God is with us. Measuring each moment. The beginning from the end. Breathing into us courage and faith and new.
Out of the brokenness of our moments restoring.   
He created the world with His word. 
Imagine what He can do in your life. (Click to Tweet)
Whatever the broken moments have been. He is enough in the midst of it all. The moments don’t have to add up. Our life doesn’t have to make sense. Only Him.
We can let the reigns fall. Knowing in His goodness. In His rightness. In His ALL. He will make it enough.
