I was going about my day when I heard an ice cream van play its jingle down the High street. Yet immediately, and I can't emphasise how it was straight after the ice cream jingle that I heard the sound of a police car/fire engine.
It just reminded me that sometimes we get into a right old muddle.
Life can be going great! Then it takes one little thing (in our minds) to change Ice Cream mode to Police Siren mode. Yet God sees the bigger picture. He is always on Ice Cream Jingle because he has the bigger picture.
I thank God that he has the bigger picture and knows my life and not the other way round!
From my readings today, I felt Psalm 30:1-7 was appropriate for this thought.
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.Of David. 1 I will exalt you, LORD,
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 LORD my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me.
3 You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
you spared me from going down to the pit.
4 Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When I felt secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7 LORD, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain stand firm;
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
