Threads

This past Sunday was an interesting example of how God weaves things together. Runs threads through our lives.

In Sunday school we listened.to Lee Stroble and the first lesson in his Case For Easter.  We discussed evidence that the death and resurrection of Christ is fact. One of the conclusions we came.to is God gives us individual and specific evidence. 

That all we can do is share that with others.

Then upstairs....the message (which was completely separate from Sunday School) was about the evidence that God exists and how we live and react and behave with people as we see His evidence all around us!

The Thread!

We have heard about the Christian life being compared to a tapestry...woven by God. We are only a small part of the tapestry and how you have to view the tapestry from a distance to see the whole thing.

So I wanted to see what was in Scripture for thread. The first on that came to mind from Ecclesiastes 

📖Though one may be overpowered,
    two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12

The other talks about knitting , creating something precious 

📖 For you created my inmost being;
   

you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13

There are times when we can see the "thread" through events. The more retrospect we have the more we can see them.

📖 Now the men had said to her, “This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house. If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads; we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on them. But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”  “Agreed,” she replied. “Let it be as you say.” So she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window. Joshua 2:17-21

How God works, tieing things together weaving events and people into our lives.

📖 As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.” Genesis 38:28

Thread and cords were used for significant purposes. 

I believe there is a purpose in all the threads and connections that God weaves through our lives. 

🙏 I pray you see the threads that God weaves through your life. ♥️
