The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. Psalm 119:130
When you are reading a book, do you find joy in the way a story unfolds. There is a great old western that I enjoyed reading a few years ago. The story started out really slow, but as the pages turned in this 800 page novel, the story began to unfold and make the less exciting early parts a masterpiece of enjoyment as I proceeded through it. What about your own life as it unfolds? Do you look at the less exciting parts and wait for your life to unfold in an all-revealing way? Many times our lives are unfolding just as God has planned them to, but we need to remember that they do not unfold at a rapid pace but only when we are ready for them to unfold. Just like when you are reading God's Word, you might find a passage that is unclear to you at the time, but certainly as you continue to grow in your faith, God will unfold things for you to see the true meaning. Don't try to rush through life at a rapid pace, but let things unfold before you as they are intended, in God's time.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
