HOW YOU FIGURE THINGS OUT
It’s just human nature to try and figure things out. So, when we’re in
the midst of a situation, we usually try to reason our way through it.
Joyce Meyer
When things aren’t going well, it can feel like you’ve simply got the wrong pieces or your personal jigsaw puzzle. The facts that like a good jigsaw puzzle, you can’t always see the whole picture until you get enough of the pieces together.
If you take one piece at a time, using a sort of trial and error, learn as you go method, you’ll find some of the right pieces. If you build a framework that looks right, then you may simply have to trust that you’ll be able to finish the work even when doubt sets in. The more you keep working with it, the better you’ll get and ultimately, your effort will pay off. Your skill will improve with practice.
The final picture will come together, but it means you had to know from the start that it would. You had to know that the beginning and the end would take you to the same place because truth begets truth and love begets love.
Figuring things out is partly about the end result, but it’s mostly about the process and how you get there is important to God. Take it one piece at a time today.
Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing
that something is real even if we do not see it.
Hebrews 11:1 NCV
Lord, help me to trust You as I put all the pieces of my life together.
Amen
