6…Moving Our Puzzle Pieces

Good morning! “Out of sight, out of mind.” God doesn’t want us to live in the past but from time to time it’s good to reflect on what God has brought us through. We often can see God’s hand at work in our lives a bit clearer once some time has passed. Seeing His handprints on everything that I thought was terrible at the time puts wind underneath my wings. Life sometimes seems like a gigantic jigsaw puzzle, with some major pieces missing. But I can promise you that those pieces aren’t lost, God just hasn’t shown you where they belong yet.

Take a situation in your life where you clearly saw God’s hands all over it. Now step back and look at all the things that had to happen to bring you to this place. Those things are the puzzle pieces. It’s mind-boggling how God can orchestrate everything the way He does. Sometimes it’s hard to see God working in our lives. When that happens, we can still be at peace because without a shadow of a doubt, He’s moving the necessary puzzle pieces around for our benefit and His glory.

One of my favorite verses dealing with waiting on the Lord is Isaiah 40:31:

Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.

So how is your puzzle looking? As we wait to see more pieces revealed, we can rest with 100% assurance that God is indeed moving in our lives. He is perfectly fitting together each piece of your puzzle … in His perfect timing.
