Knotholes in the Fence of Life

The time we have on earth is a lot like living in a big backyard surrounded by an unscalable wooden fence. But every now and then, we are blessed to come upon a knothole that gives us a glimpse into God’s miraculous work behind the scenes on our behalf. Prayerful stillness is one of the best ways to find knotholes, especially if you find yourself sitting in the backyard staring in frustration at the fence line, instead of flourishing where God has placed you. Regardless of busyness or people's expectations, Jesus modeled how to cultivate an intimacy with our heavenly Father.
