Fitting the pieces together

For wisdom is more than just seeing our problems through God’s eyes— it’s also trusting Him even when the pieces don’t seem to fit.                          —Joni Eareckson

When we scatter the pieces of a puzzle across a table, nothing makes sense. We start with the edge pieces and then work from the photo to help guide us. But what if we have to put together the pieces without knowing what the picture is?

Our lives are exactly like that. Pieces of problems are scattered across life’s table and nothing makes sense. Nothing fits. And we don’t even know what the final picture is supposed to look like.

That’s when we trust. If the puzzle manufacturers can deliver exactly the right pieces that will all fit in the end, then all the more, our Creator God knows how to form our puzzle-problems together in to a beautiful picture.

When the scattered pieces don’t make sense, know that the puzzle of your life has already been solved by God. Look through his eyes and trust him.

Prayer: Thought my puzzle pieces don’t seem to fit, Lord, I will trust you.

” He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. ” Ecclesiastes 3:11
