[The Glory Unveiled]
Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” ( John 13:7 )
Most of the things going on in our lives at certain points in time are processes. They are not ends in themselves but a means to a glorious end. Some of the confusing situations and challenges that confront us are only processing the raw materials. Unfortunately we are quick to react like the apostle Peter in today’s passage. Instead of being still through the procedures of God, we end up questioning the purposes of God that we do not immediately understand. God sees the end from the beginning. This statement is enough to give us hope and the audacity to trust God irrespective of whatever we go through. Now, because God sees the end from the beginning, whatever He does is towards that end. The process that seem inconsistent with the end we envision is actually consistent with the end God designed for His glory through us. We may not realize what God is doing in us and through us while we are still in the production house of His gracious dealings, but at the time of our announcement, we will understand why we had to be subjected to the things we faced. You’re on course because God is leading you. Trust the process and trust God.
Prayer_Bead: Loving King, Gracious eternal Father, thank you for the works you are doing and the changes you are causing in me. In Jesus name, Amen.
