I expend my days relentlessly attempting to design my life in a manner that is designed to meet the needs in my life. Yet, God did not design life to do that. Rather, He designed life to direct us to Him so that He could do that.

I simply can’t look into the heavens on a crisp starry night and somehow bring myself to believe that the gaping expanse that engulfs the whole of me is the product of chance happenstance. And neither can I believe that the gaping expanse that rests within me is anything less.

Far too often I attempt to create that which God has already created. And maybe what I need to ‘create’ is the understanding that I will always fail to outdo what God has already done.

Often we don’t see the majesty of God’s design because we’re caught up in the mediocrity of our own designs.
