The Bigger Scheme of Things

there is something fascinating about how a certain decision is made... specially when it entangles a hundred more other issues, then it becomes super amazing! sometimes, we are allowed to see the bigger scheme of things, but many times, we are just given pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and each piece is meaningless without the rest. it happens a lot in corporate decision-makings, and many of those things does not make sense to people outside the circle.


i have done quite a stir in our organization the past 2 days when i was doing remedial plans to our manpower needs for those who have left and are leaving soon (since recruiting from manila will take a while). i was not aware that it was chaotic already until i heard it from our other managers. we have been doing simultaneous interviews, lateral and vertical promotions from within. the picture is quite clear in my mind with each one holding different parts of the puzzle piece. but to them, it comes off unclear and confusing! but today, being a 'mending day', i assured them that things are going to be ok and that it will be for everybody's good. i hope they believe me. i hope that things will fall into the right place at the right time....

i guess the same thing happens when God executes His plans for us. many times we do not see the sense in it. many times, we think we know how to do it better. and often times, we think we are left on our own to grope in the dark. then the sin of unbelief, discontent and endless whining comes in and ruins our relationship with Him...

if i, being a sinful human being, plans things that is for the benefit of most people concerned, what more does our loving Heavenly Father?! but unlike me, wherein i have to 'hope things will fall into the right place', His plans and execution does not depend on anything else, but on His wise estimation and mercy alone! but we have to let Him freely take his action in our lives!


lifting a quote from the book i am readung, i quote "when God does not make sense, He still makes sense!" His bigger scheme of things will always be for His eyes only, until He so pleases to show it to us...
