Eyes on God

I felt like so much of this week has been "blah" in so many ways. So many not-so-fun ways.
And God is calling me to look at the bigger picture. It's hard for me; likely it's my self-centeredness. I get stuck on myself - what's happening in my world now. I forget to look outside myself. Forget that God is on the move all around me.
Our God is bigger; he specializes in using broken, blah-feeling people. It often amazes and astounds me the types of people he's used throughout history. I mean, I wouldn't have picked a murderer to be a king, much less to be in my ancestry line. But God has the big picture in view. He knows the heart and he knows he can use the broken people.
So, once I can get my eyes off myself and back onto God I can remember that he's bigger then me, my life, my circumstances and he is working all around me (including within me). He can work in ways I never could dream and he is wise, loving and good.
