Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
—Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Oh, that I would see the beauty of everything that You have created and rest in the comfort and assurance of Your sovereignty over all things!
Help me to accept that I am not able to see the whole scope of the work You are doing from beginning to end—and that sometimes it will be hard for me to see the beauty of what You have done, because the things that You have planned are still unfolding before me.
Thank You for that glimpse of the perfection of eternity that You have planted in my heart—a taste of what is yet to come that keeps me never quite satisfied with anything this world has to offer, but always yearning for the perfect world that will only come by Your perfect rule.
Thank You for making me in Your image—and for showing me that the longing and hungering of my heart can only be truly satisfied by more of You in my life.
Oh, that I would see the beauty of everything that You have created and rest in the comfort and assurance of Your sovereignty over all things!
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
