Diamond Painting

I sometimes enjoy relaxing with an art activity which is called diamond painting.  Basically it is a coloured picture covered with glue, and you are given different coloured plastic diamonds (which are resin balls that are flat on the one side and raised on the other) to stick on to the glue so that the whole picture comes alive and you have created a vivid, shimmering work of art.

The important thing here is that the whole picture is given to you before you even start, because without it you do not know where to place the plastic discs, and also every little disc has demarcated spaces where it will fit.

This is exactly how the end-time Biblical prophecies work:  God has already given us the whole picture of what is going to happen through His prophets in the Bible, and history is now just placing the events that lead up to the end in their pre-ordained places.

People can talk and talk about the Great Reset, but actually it is just the Great Preset!   God has declared the end since the beginning, says Is 46:10, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’ - He does not change His mind, and whatever He says will happen, will certainly come to pass in the finest detail.

When fear and uncertainty about what is happening in the world take hold in your mind, remember God has given the complete picture – nothing that is happening now is a surprise to Him.  And the beautiful thing about it is that in the end, the picture will be a vivid, shimmering work of art – we will live in a shimmering golden city with our Abba Father and our Bridegroom Jesus and our Friend Holy Spirit - Hallelujah!

In the words of Jan Markell, “The world is not falling apart, it is falling in place!”

Take heart, therefore my friend, our heavenly Father has not only given us the complete picture, but also promised to never leave us nor forsake us, throughout all eternity.  This includes help in all the times of trouble we may be facing now, or might be facing in the future!
