The is an excerpt out of a devotionals book I got from my youth pastor for graduation. At first, I will admit, I sort of forced myself to do it. Now, it’s one of the best parts of my day. The other day, this page really impacted me.
I once saw a man draw some black dots on a piece of paper. Several of us looked at it yet saw nothing but an irregular arrangement of dots. Then he also drew a few lines, put in a few rests, and added a treble clef at the beginning. Suddenly we realized the dots were musical notes, and as we began to sound them out, we were singing,
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise him all creatures here below.”
Each of us has many black dots or spots in out life, and we cannot understand why they are there or why God permitted them. But when we allow Him into our life to adjust the dots in the proper way, to draw the lines He desires, and to put rests at the proper places to separate us from certain things, then from the black dots and spots He will compose a glorious harmony.
This entire paragraph really inspired me. I try to think of my life now, as just a progression, leading up to this beautiful, triumphant crescendo. If my life was a marching band show, I would be in the middle of the 2nd part, which will lead into the beautiful harmonies of the 3rd, and finally into the awe-inspiring 4th.
Or at least I hope it does.
