Sometimes God places you in a spot that appears to be for a particular reason.
It seems obvious; you've joined a club or formed an alliance to accomplish A or B. Simple.
As time unfolds, you begin to see that His plan was C or D or even Q.
Not leaving out A and B, but adding to them by layers.
Our vision is limited by our own pea-sized perceptions. His is eternal and galactic.
Ever been there? Are you there now? Could Your Shepherd being leading you to C or Q when you thought He was about A?
