Behind The Scenes

What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.

John 13:7

Some DVDs include a special feature that takes viewers behind the cameras to show them how the movie was made, how the special effects were done, and what happened during the course of filming. This look at what was going on behind the scenes satisfies a certain curiosity felt by many moviegoers who ask, “How did they do that?”

If only we could see behind the scenes of our lives! The hidden hand of God’s providence is directing and producing events in life that will result in our good and His glory. His hidden angels are watching over us in more ways than we know. His hidden Spirit is refreshing us with daily joy and strength. His Word, hidden in our hearts, is keeping us from sin.

Much of what God does in our lives is almost imperceptible. He works in ways we cannot see, and someday we’ll understand.

You’re in the starring role of your life. Make sure the Lord Jesus is Writer, Producer, and Director of the story.

I am not skilled to understand

What God hath willed, what God hath planned;

I only know that at His right hand

Is One who is my Savior!
