The tapestry of life

by Pastor Simon

I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.

Deuteronomy 30:19 - NKJV

Choose life! God's got a life pattern for you to follow. A beautiful tapestry to His glory; this is what God has in mind for your life. God's weave pattern is recorded for you in His Word and how to carry it out will be shown to you by His Spirit!

Picture your life as a tapestry in progress. If your life is out of shape somewhere you haven't followed God's appointed weave pattern. Ask yourself, "How is the weave of my tapestry?" Is there a problem with your tapestry? If so, somehow you've gotten off God's pattern of spiritual life that's lived in a relationship with Him. You can turn things around today! All that's needed is for you to retrace your steps to where you lost the thread and pick back up where you left off. It's easier to correct the sooner you realise it. Come back to God, confess your sin, correct the error and continue on again with the pattern God has appointed! Soon you'll be watching your glorious tapestry taking form again!

Or maybe things just seem to have been unravelling lately. If things are coming undone you need to hem your tapestry back up with prayer. Prayer forms the hem of your tapestry. Pray before you start your day. Commit your life and your affairs that day to the Lord. Look to the Lord for His guidance. If you daily do this the tapestry of your life will be hemmed up so it won't come undone.

Live in God's pattern of spiritual life.
