Episode notes
God Sees The Whole Timeline
- David Platt highlights that God weaves a vast, beautiful tapestry across all time that we cannot fully see.
- This perspective frees us from fixating on present struggles and invites long-term trust in God's plan.
Choose Long-Term Trust Over Short-Term Sight
- Trust God in the long term rather than judging by short-term circumstances.
- Look to God's attributes—wise, loving, sovereign—to anchor that trust amid uncertainty.
Eternity Placed In Our Hearts
- Eternity is placed in our hearts but we cannot discern God's full work from beginning to end.
- This tension calls us to depend on God's character, not our comprehension.
