For A Purpose {a guest post by Rachel Nicole}

Those little things.

Everyone knows what they are, but they take them for granted.

When it thunderstorms, you don't think about how God is refreshing the ground, or how rain keeps things growing, or how without rain, we would all be non-existent. You think about how it ruined your fun picnic, or your walk with a friend. Anything you were planning to do that day now has a new turn to it.

When you look at a birds nest, the first thing you think is 'gross'.

Yes, true, they might be gross, but think about all the time it takes for the bird to collect all the pieces for that nest, and then puts them all together with mud and saliva. This can take more than a day to build, not to mention all the hard work, and the fact that they do this every year. 

They do this all for their little chicks to stay protected.

They sacrifice their lives day in and day out to protect their young. Building nests, getting food, and they hardly think about themselves when they're doing this.

God designed each animal, plant, and human differently.

They all need those little things to keep them alive.

Like, humans need rain, animals need protection, and plants need water.

Without them we cannot survive.

Without rain, we would get no food. Plants (like corn, tomatoes, wheat, etc...) would die, animals (which we use for meat) would have no protection, and would eventually go extinct, and oxygen would ultimately end with no photosynthesis from the plants which need water to survive. 

You see, God designed those little things to keep us alive.

Every single one of them is for a purpose.

God is an awesome designer. He made us perfectly, and then put things around us so that we may survive in this world.

So, the next time something ruins your day, think about what it would be like if that were never to happen again.

You might just find yourself in awe.
