Eye Has Not Seen

Yesterday we went to Disney's Magic Kingdom with our entire family. It was a very hot, humid, long and great day. While we were in line to ride Winnie the Pooh, 2-tr-old Taylor saw a costumed Winnie the Pooh at a distance walking around. She starting crying that she wanted to get out of line and go see Winnie right now! Really crying. This was the most urgent and important thing in her life at that moment.

What she didn't know was that in just a few minutes we would be going on a new adventure on a ride that she'd never experienced, nor had any idea what to expect. Her parents (and grandparents) new what was coming, so we told her that what was coming was far better than shaking the hand of a furry Pooh wannabe.

We do the same thing. We think we know what we want. We focus on only what we can see and what we think is going to be 'good'. But, our Father knows what's coming just around the corner. When He says, 'Just wait,' do we trust that He knows what He's talking about? Do we believe that the journey He's about to take us on is far better than what we think we want to do?

Fortunately, Taylors parents, and our Heavenly Father sometimes tells us, 'no.' What the Father has in store is greater than we can imagine.

The moral of the story:

Quit crying and trust the Father.

Patience. Just a little longer and we're in for a journey that we haven't imagined.

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 NLT

Enjoying the journey,
