faith - the bigger picture
we all have different concerns on our minds, each weighing in at different seasons. yet, when we dare to pause and take a step back, the hint of a bigger picture is glimpsed.
the ant does not comprehend the painting in all its sophistication, but that doesn’t annul its encounter. in like manner, so is our (frequent) inability to make sense of God’s bigger picture; it might inundate, but it is not invalidated.
faith is thus explained: the evidence of things unseen. we might not “see” the bigger picture, precisely because we are a part of it. we encounter paintings every day, yet cannot comprehend them. we see them instead as pixelated messes: a hectic work schedule, family demands, undeserved life circumstances etc. faith is about taking those encounters as evidence for that which is unseen/unperceived, as substance of that which we hope for — God’s bigger picture.

“I repent of ever having recorded one single song, and ever having performed one concert, if my music, and more importantly, my life has not provoked you into Godly jealousy or to sell out more completely to Jesus!” — Keith Green
“The only music minister to whom the Lord will say, “Well done, thy good and faithful servant,” is the one whose life proves what their lyrics are saying, and to whom music is the least important part of their life. Glorifying the only worthy One has to be a minister’s most important goal!!!” — Keith Green
