Promises and dominoes
"Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth!" Psalm 46:10 I watched my boys play with some of my old, antique dominoes last week. They meticulously stood each piece upright, laid the path in the kitchen, knocked down the first standing in line, and watched and listened for the rest to fall in rapid succession. They knew exactly where the last one would fall. They knew the outcome. I see the draw of a game's ending. It's black and white. Someone wins and someone loses. But life is not black and white. It holds twists and turns. The boys are learning that difficulty doesn't equate to losing in life. There is no losing with our Savior. Despite knowing this truth myself, when life doesn't fall in line, I want a sign. I want some sort of forecast to lessen the blow of being swept in an unforeseen direction. The truth is, some of the greatest, most God-orchestrated moments
