“Best of the Best”

A while back God was showing me something and it moved me to write a letter to a group of Ladies that I was in a small group with. I hope that it encouraged them at the time and I hope it encourages you, now. I have been thinking a lot about that letter and wanted to pass it on. I believe that a lot of people, including me and my husband, are being positioned for something amazing! The following is a portion of the previous letter I wrote and I find it speaking to me still.

 

I have an interesting story to share about when my twins were ten months old. From the time my twins were six months old I had been feeding them food with a spoon. Whenever I put the babies into their high chairs to eat they would cry, more so my daughter Jael. When they were ten months old there was one day that I began thinking: wow, I have been doing this five times a day for four months now and still every time Jael cries. I am very perplexed by this because I figured that by now she must know that I am about to give her something she likes. Not only am I going to give her something she likes, it is something she needs. I was also thinking that I make all of my own baby food and I trust that I am giving her the best of the best and still I cannot figure out why she cries? I am simply putting her in the perfect position to receive the best of the best. She does not like to sit there, she does not like the straps, and she does not like the tray. Now when I begin feeding her, she is fine and loves it. But – every time I put her in the chair it is the same thing. Why doesn't she know the process yet?

 

Now the amazing thing is as I was thinking these things to myself I felt the Holy Spirit give me the answer: "This is exactly how the children of God are! I am simply positioning them for the best of the best and they cry."

 

To me we are sometimes in uncomfortable positions for a moment but we need to simply trust God that He is merely lining us up for the best of the best! Maybe the uncomfortable situation you are in right now is simply God positioning you. Trust your Father that He knows He has the best to give you and He will not withhold it from you! You can trust God even though we cannot see that He made the best of the best, knows it is good, that you will like it and that you even need it. So even though we cannot see past the chair we are in or the straps or the tray we can believe God that the best of the best is on the way!

 

I want to have the perspective that any battle or uncomfortable situation in my life that I face is God's opportunity to do something great in and through my life!
