Have you ever created something, where through the process it looks sort of peculiar and if someone were to see it, they’d wonder what exactly you are creating? I recently watched a Facebook reel of a man paint on canvas. He used an actual large paintbrush, and the way that he began to paint looked kind of like a mess. I was intrigued, so I stayed and watched the process. Then, something incredible happened. What once seemed like a hodgepodge of different color paint, became this canvas painted so beautifully into a work of art.

I think in life we feel this way. We wonder how things are going to possibly come together. Maybe some things don’t always make sense in our lives. Things may feel messy and out of sorts. We don’t always trust our Creator, as we navigate certain things in life. Though I have found if we go to God and His word, when we walk with Him, and talk with Him in prayer, we can be certain that through God, we can trust what He is doing. For certainly, we always can! For He is working all things out beautifully, for our good. Even if it doesn’t always make sense or it is hard in the process. Though, friend, may we have faith in the outcome, because of Whom is in control. May we trust what God is doing in our lives. For what great work God can do in our lives, when we trust Him, fully, as our Creator. As the Facebook reel came to an end what was revealed was quite beautiful, I was glad I took the time, to trust the process.

Trust the process.

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
