This morning I was washing a load of laundry. Midway through the wash cycle, the washing machine paused for a couple of minutes. The first few times it did this when I first bought my washing machine, I would think that the cycle was already finished, but when I walked over to the machine, I would realize that it was just pausing mid-cycle, preparing for the next round of spinning and rinsing.
As I heard the machine take its usual mid-cycle break this morning, I thought about how often I think that, because one part of my life or another is on "pause", I assume that God's done with that. In reality, He may be just letting me catch my breath before sending me spinning through the next cycle He has planned for me.
I need to never forget that until I take my last breath, God's not through with my life yet.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. " (Jer. 29:11)
