I've been thinking a lot lately about the mysteries of following God. I know: deep subject for such a shallow mind. And not to suggest I know all about following God - intellectually, practically, or otherwise. I just know that no matter how long I serve Him, no matter where His mission for me leads, I remain amazed at how He goes before us, preparing hearts, providing resources, bringing all the pieces together like only He can.
It dawned on me the other day that until a few months ago, I'd never heard of Alicia, AR. But because of the partnership Wellspring Church enjoys with Alicia Baptist Church, this small farming community will forever be a piece of the jigsaw puzzle of my life.
I wonder what the next "puzzle piece" will look like? Where will it be? No one knows but the Puzzle Maker Himself. All I can know for sure is this: He is faithful. His Word promises that He has "prepared in advance" work for us to be a part of.
"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."
Like I said: a mystery.
