The Fifth Leg
One Monday evening, as I was laying down sideways on my couch (I was about ready to take a snooze), I noticed, from my angle of view, that my computer chair appeared to have only four legs. However, I know in fact that it has five legs that are spread out in the shape of a star, which is designed to keep the chair balanced. Yet from my angle, here was this chair, successfully balancing on what appeared to be four unsymmetrically placed legs. Logically, it would have tipped over. But it didn’t and it won’t. It is sturdy and well-balanced. I just simply couldn’t see the fifth leg.
In life, we go through moments like these in which we cannot see the whole picture. We try to use our logic and our limited knowledge to understand things we see from a narrow angle. But Heavenly Father sees things from all angles. He knows of the fifth leg. He has the knowledge of its existence and its purpose. Though I cannot see the fifth leg. He can and he sees the bigger picture.
