GREAT LEADERS SEE THE BIG PICTURE!

Team:

Sometimes God cuts big things out of our life and replaces it with something that appears to be smaller. When this happens it is important to trust God and see the Big Picture.

Sometimes we have to take three steps forward and one step back.

In Isaiah 10:33-34 we learn God cuts down the tall trees. These tall trees provided shade from the scorching sun. These tall trees provided a cool peaceful place. These tall trees represent the things of the world we rely on for security, safety and peace in our lives.

Sometimes the world offers good things but when these things begin to own us we can forget about God.

God cut down the trees because He has something much Bigger and Better for us. God is concerned about our eternal security. The trees were only temporary.
"There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots." Isaiah 11:1

Sometimes God has to completely start over in our lives. Sometimes He has to get rid of the trees that are blocking our view of Him.

God had something much bigger for His people. Eph 3:20

Jesus is the small root of Jesse. Jesus had humble small beginnings when Jesse's (David's) family was in dishonor; but in the end God's Kingdom will prevail over all the earth.

The bible tells us not to despise the days of small beginnings. Zech 4:10

These are times when we learn to Trust in God. God has a much bigger plan waiting for us in the near future.
