Driving north to see our grandkids we passed through some of the most beautiful country. We have passed that way many times before and hardly noticed the scenery. But this time was different. This time the trees had changed their colors from green to an endless variety of bright fall colors. God must certainly delight in color and in variety.
November is the month for Thanksgiving. I am thankful for God’s endless variety of blessings. He wants us all to be one with Him but after that He wants to change us into many different shades. He sees us all as unique individuals and He has a unique purpose for us all.
We may not see all His blessing the same. In fact, some of them we may not see as blessings at all, in the beginning. God is our redeemer. He takes us as we are and makes us what He wants us to become. We are always somewhere in the middle of the process, not what we were, but not what we will be. He can take any circumstance in our lives an turn them into blessings. So, we should be thankful for it all. Be thankful for the blessing we know are blessings. And, be thankful for the situations God is molding into blessings.
Paul said, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (NKJV Php 4:11-13).
