Connect the Dots


CONNECT THE DOTS
Remember the activity books that had connecting the dots pages? They are great for teaching kids number order and recognition. Did you ever complete one and realize that you missed a number somewhere along the way and the final picture just didn’t look right? At that point, what did you do? Go back and erase all of the connections so that you could pick up the one missed? Ignore the original connection that was made and just add a new one? Or maybe you would just tear that page out and pretend you never tried it in the first place? I will let you guess which option describes my choice and share that when considering the activity pages of life, the method doesn’t matter because nothing happens due to our own hands. Yes, we do often miss a dot because of a choice we made or for whatever reason but He is there waiting to redirect us so that in the end the picture that remains is a perfect design reflective of His plan for our lives.
Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.
