A Piece of the Puzzle…
I was talking with someone about life and struggles of the day to day. My heart aches when I see someone struggling. I know that if they just trust in God, He can heal. I pray for wisdom and follow His guidance. Thinking back over the conversation, it seems like our life is a puzzle with pieces all jumbled up. Just when you pick up a piece that looks like it fits, when strategically placed, a small corner is shaped just such that it won’t lock. No matter how much we want it to fit, that one side just won’t go. The piece is placed aside and the search to complete the puzzle of life continues.
You see, when we place pieces in our life, they won’t fit. There will always be something that just isn’t correct and the pieces won’t lock into place. Only when we allow God to put together the puzzle will all the pieces fit. I’m so guilty of rushing headlong into building my puzzle that I drop a piece on the floor or put the wrong piece in the wrong place. Then, everything else doesn’t fit either. I’ve made a mess. I have to take my puzzle apart and start over. Only when I allow God to be my hands, guide my heart, and build the puzzle, then a beautiful picture emerges.
Isaiah 55:8-9 – "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
