The Dark Threads Are Just As Needful! 🧵
We don’t understand how the things in our life that seem so difficult are working together for our good, and for His good purposes.
Sometimes life just seems too hard and we ask why LORD? Why must I go through this? **
We don’t see things from His perspective. We don’t know how each situation is being woven together, not only in our lives, but in the lives of others, to form something we could never imagine — An eternal weight of glory! **
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; **
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen …

LORD, help us to trust You when we don’t understand, knowing that You love us, and You are doing something wonderful, not only in our lives, but in the lives of others. Something that will produce an eternal weight of glory! **
When the worst happens in the life of Your children, the best is yet to be! **
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. **
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. **
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LORD. **
Does your life feel like the underside of a weaving, with a knotted mess of threads? Remember, in the Master’s hands He is making something beautiful! The dark threads ARE just as needful in His design! **
“My life is but a weaving, between my God and me. I cannot choose the colors; He weaveth steadily.
Oft’ times He weaveth sorrow; and I in foolish pride; forget He sees the upper; and I the underside. **
Not ’til the loom is silent; and the shuttles cease to fly; will God unroll the canvas; and reveal the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful; In the Weaver’s skillful hand; as the threads of gold and silver, in the pattern He has planned.” **
Trust Him, no matter what you’re going through! Rejoice in Him! **
Habakkuk 3:17-19 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: **
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places. #EyesOnHim **
