Maze Daze

Maze Daze

Lamentations 3:49-50 (NASB)

49 “My eyes pour down unceasingly, Without stopping,

50 Until the LORD looks down And sees from heaven.”

    Cool Patch Pumpkins in Dixon, California, has the largest corn maze in the world—about sixty acres of winding paths between towering stalks of corn. Every year during maze season authorities brace for 911 calls. After wandering for hours, visitors panic. “I don’t know what to do anymore,” one caller said. “We’ve been in here like four hours.” Another said, “We’re stuck, and they close at 10. We’re very worried, and we can’t find a way out.”

    What a parable of life! We all encounter twists and turns, dead ends and puzzling circumstances. But if you took a helicopter over the maze, you would see a distinct route. In fact, the maze often spells out words when viewed from above. The maze is actually amazing.

    If you feel lost in your circumstances, remember that God is looking down from above and it all makes perfect sense to Him. His handwriting has spelled out a perfect plan for you. Even when we don’t understand our circumstances, we can be confident in God’s grace and guidance.

    John Wanamaker said, “We do not always understand Thy care, our Father, but Thy great hand of love always covers us. Show us Thy signature, now and then, that we may know that we are on the right road.”
