Life’s Grand Puzzle
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." — Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV)
By day, we piece together scattered clues in our work; by night, we untangle knots woven within our families. Life, it seems, is one continuous puzzle, its fragments often scattered beyond our grasp. Yet, how quickly we forget that we’re not meant to solve it alone.
When we attempt life’s puzzles without God, the missing piece isn’t merely inconvenient—it’s eternal. Trying to assemble meaning from scattered shards of human wisdom alone always leaves gaps—voids where peace, purpose, and wholeness should dwell.
God alone holds the master key, the divine perspective needed to align all pieces perfectly. He sees what we cannot, arranges what we could never imagine, and offers wisdom to interpret life's complexities.
Without God at the center, we puzzle ourselves into frustration, anxiety, and ultimately emptiness. But when we allow Him to guide us, suddenly clarity emerges from chaos, purpose from confusion, and peace from the puzzle itself.
Reflective Question: Are you trying to solve today’s puzzle with your own hands, or have you invited the Master Puzzle Maker into the process?
