Time lines

Have you ever made a timeline? When I first started work I was asked to predict where I wanted to be in 10 years and to draw my timeline. How I wish I had known what would be in store for me!!
Years have passed and now as a christian, I decided it would be good to do this again, and look in retrospect at my life and each event, good and bad, asking the question, “Where was God’s hand in this?” I was able to gain many beautiful insights of God’s guidance in my walk of faith.
When I thought about my life, the first really difficult time in my life that came to my mind was when my first husband left me. It was very much a low point for me. However, I realized that if I had not gone through that struggle, I might not have become a Christian. God in His awesome way allowed hardships in my life, so I could become who I am today. I’m glad God gave me clarity concerning that particular struggle. I look forward to the day that God gives me complete clarity about my life. I know I will be glad that I trusted Him and stayed obedient to His will.
What about you? Do you want clarity about some of the events that happened in your life? Part of knowing God more intimately is knowing who you are in Christ. The world needs to see who you are as a believer.I challenge you to make a timeline of your life. You can bring it before the Lord and ask Him to show you His hand in all the hard times and good times. God loves you, and He will match your heartache with His grace. Trust Him with your life
