Never A Dull Moment – Week 2, Day 6
I could go on and on about my kiddos and how much they have taught me and how much I love them and don’t even get me flipping through all the pictures that I could find and post to go along with this particular devotion. Instead of all that, though, I have to highlight the most important thing:
God does NOT make mistakes.
When I brought my first-born home from the hospital my life changed in a million ways that I never even thought of. (For the record, Mom tried to tell me about 700 thousand of them, but I wouldn’t listen… KIDS!) The biggest issue I faced was wanting to be the “perfect” mother to this precious little squirm worm while simultaneously having no idea what I was doing. As they say, “Babies don’t come with manuals!” Or maybe that’s just my mom again? Anyway… a sweet friend gave me the one piece of parenting advice that actually matters. It is the only one that I purposely pass along to other mommas who are just trying to navigate the rapids of parenthood. She said, “God gave you Caleb because YOU are the perfect mother for him. Period.” Wow. Whew.
Aside from the sweet story of my perfect babies – I’m a little biased! – THAT is the whole point of today’s reading. No matter what it is in your life that has you questioning God’s wisdom in giving you the assignment, GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES. Every single person, situation, issue, occurrence, moment, relationship, etc. etc. etc. is intended for your good and His glory.
He has you where you are by design. Trust Him. He hand-picked you for the life you are living because there’s good work for only you to do. Remember that he makes wise choices and He always picks perfectly.
And, now, without further ado, the pictures! You knew they were coming!! LOL!
