Philippians 1:6, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” I recently started crocheting again. I long ago lost my crochet needles and ordered a new set. The packet came with a set of crochet hooks, stitch-markers, and sewing yarn needles. I picked the crochet hook I wanted to use and began watching some tutorial videos. I’ve crotched in the past so knew the basic stitches. Most of the videos I watched included the use of stitch-markers to tag where you change the type of stitch you are using or to mark the beginning of a change in the pattern. I have never used them and left them in the packet they came in. I soon found myself unraveling the yarn quite often because the project was not coming out according to the video. I was forgetting to faithfully count my stitches or change from a single crochet to a double crochet in the right spot. Frustrated after pulling apart my work for the third time, I balled up the yarn, put it in a bag to put away for a moment. As I placed the bag under my desk, my eyes caught the little bag of stitch-markers still sealed and sitting on the top of my desk. As I looked at those markers still sealed in the bag, I looked down at the bag of yarn I had just pulled apart because of a mistake I had made. The yarn could be unravel to fix my mistake and I could start fresh. God reminded me of this, as I looked at the stitch-markers. I was trying to do the project on my own without the aid of the stitch-marker because I thought I didn’t need anything to keep me on track. Yet, there sat the unraveled yarn in a bag. It was a perfect reminder to me that if I think I can do something on my own without God’s help or guidance, I too have to be unraveled and start fresh. Philippians 1:6, tells us that “He began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.” That unopened pack of stitch-markers was my reminder that I need God each day for guidance. I just need to realize it and seek His guidance. Lord, help me to rely on you as I walk in this earthly body.
