The Big Picture....

Was reading recently the call God gave Samuel to go and anoint a new King for Israel. God didn't reveal the BIG picture all at once to Samuel. Rather... God revealed a step and then waited to see what Samuel would do. And the big picture was finally seen after a series of small steps of obedience on Samuel's part. I think the same is true with us. God almost never reveals the Big Picture to us... but one step at a time and when we obediently follow God by taking that step, he reveals another and so on... and in time... we see the Big Picture.
