My sister and I whipped out a 750 piece puzzle the other night. The next day I pulled out a 1000 piece, and we completed a good portion of it before we both had to leave for college the next day. I say we're pretty ballin'. But it made me think how life is like a puzzle. So many different pieces...relationships, school, leisure, work, food, religion, clothing. Even things that seem insignificant, like the weather, still effect our lives every day.
If you're anything like the Morgan sisters, you always find the edge pieces of the puzzle first and work from there. I think God is like the edge pieces of a puzzle. Everything else falls in Him. And when you have all these different pieces laying outside the edges, it gets chaotic! Some fall in the floor and the cat steps on them. Some get thrown back into the box because we just don't know what to do with them yet. But once you put the pieces within the edges, things start to make sense and fall into place. Why do we think we can organize and handle all the pieces of our lives apart from God? He is the secure foundation, the framework which we should build our lives within. Reframe your life today. Put all your pieces in the middle of God, and there you'll find your peace.
The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him.
Psalm 37:39-40
