PUZZLES COME TOGETHER

Isaiah 60:22 NLT … At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

I was doing a jigsaw puzzle I was given for Christmas and had all the outside pieces but they wouldn’t come together. They were odd shapes with no straight lines, and they didn’t seem to fit no matter how I tried! The next day I was standing back looking at it and suddenly light dawned and I saw how to make it work and I was able to continue.

Sometimes when our puzzle pieces of life aren’t coming together, God is saying to stand back for a while, take a break, and come back to our problems with fresh eyes. Don’t get bogged down, but lean into His wisdom through great teaching, or reading His word, get hooked into other people of faith who will encourage and build us up.

Proverbs 4:18 says the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter, Isaiah 65:24 says God answers our prayers before we call, Mark 11:24 says to believe before we receive, so let’s agree with all God says and expect His light to shine.

What is important is to keep going, to keep believing for the answers to come. The lovely thing is, God has the answer and He will reveal it to us in His perfect timing, so don’t give up on your puzzle, don’t give up on praying for others, or searching for the way God wants you to go, or what He wants you to do next, persevere and it will all come together in the end.

God is answering our prayers and He already sees the big picture so we can rest in that truth, and rest in His love for us today and every day.😊Amen.
