Read: Isaiah 55:8
Close your eyes and imagine that you are sitting at your kitchen table and it is covered with puzzle pieces. As you start putting the puzzle together, the image begins to emerge. Finally, you finish putting the puzzle together, and you can see the complete picture.
Life can be like that puzzle. Over time, God reveals your life to you piece by piece. Eventually, you see how the pieces connect and how beautiful the final result is.
It is important to trust God even when you don’t understand the things that are happening in your life. God can see, think, and work in ways you can’t understand. He can make any situation work with His plan for your life.
