The Heart of the Story
The Heart of the Story
Have you ever struggled to understand how the various stories in the Bible connect to one another? Or wondered how these stories relate to the story of your life today? What if the testimonies in the Bible, the lives of everyone who ever lived, and your own "story still in progress" are all connected, all part of one big divine epic?
Above and around us, God directs a grander saga - written by his hand, orchestrated by his will, unveiled according to his calendar. His "Upper Story" details his plan of redemption. He is creating an eternal people for an eternal purpose.
Without the lens of the Upper Story, the events of the Lower Story perplex and confuse us. They create moments of confusion in which we feel too old, too small, unqualified, or outnumbered. But in the context of the Upper Story, our Lower Story moments make sense.
It is my prayer that when you come to the end of this book, not only will you know and better understand God's story; you will have been overwhelmed by his love for you and understand how your portrait fits on the vast canvas that he continues to paint even now.
