The Big Picture

Theme: Habits of Happiness

“I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News” (Philippians 1:12 NLT)

What is making you frustrated? Now, think for a second. What is God doing in this situation? If you don't know, it'd be helpful to meet with God and search for what he's doing in your life. If you don't, you won't notice. God usually doesn't speak audibly. He is a small, quiet voice in your head. If you don't read the Bible daily and learn constantly new things about God's personality and what he's done in he lives of others, you might not be as easily able to see what God is doing in your life. You can only see the big picture if you step back from the painting. That time spent listening to God is not only full of peace and blessing, but it's the most important thing you will ever do.

Prayer: God, what do YOU say about my situation?

Example: The photographer could only get the whole picture if she stepped back. Up close, it might just look like a normal picture of my brother... This kid... Smh
