The Odd Piece In The Puzzle

One day, while working on a jigsaw puzzle, I remember getting frustrated. Because one piece didn’t fit. This one piece didn’t make sense. This one piece had a different color. This one piece was even ugly.

“Perhaps the manufacturer made a mistake,” I told myself. “Perhaps it doesn’t belong to this box…”

But sure enough, later on, I found its place in the jigsaw puzzle. It belonged to the box, after all. Without that piece, the big picture wouldn’t be complete.

Friend, there are events in your life that are so painful, they don’t make sense. These are like odd pieces in the jigsaw puzzle of your life that don’t seem to fit.

Your miscarriage, by itself, makes no sense.

Having cancer, by itself, makes no sense.

Being retrenched from your job, by itself, makes no sense.

Your daughter getting pregnant out of wedlock, by itself, makes no sense.

Your son getting into drugs, by itself, makes no sense.

Your child dying of dengue, by itself, makes no sense.

In your tears, you asked, “Where is God in my trial?”

Where Is God?

Let me tell you where: He’s holding the other pieces of the puzzle. Taken in isolation, your trial makes no sense. But Romans 8:28 says that God will work all things together for your good.

Where is God? God is working.

He’s on His knees, connecting the pieces of your life together, and making the jigsaw puzzle.

The cross, by itself, makes no sense.

Good Friday, by itself, makes no sense.

The death of Jesus, by itself, makes no sense.

But if you put together the cross and the empty tomb, it makes total, complete, glorious sense.

Friend, you may be experiencing Good Friday today.

And deep in your heart, you’re crying out to God for an explanation. Why is this happening to you?

I want you to believe that your Easter Sunday is coming.

Don’t Be Anxious

Let me tell you why you become anxious.

Because you isolate your problem.

The reason why you don’t understand is because you’re not holding the big picture. Who is holding it?

God is holding the top of the jigsaw box.

God is holding the big picture. It’s a beautiful picture. He’s busy making the jigsaw puzzle of your life look glorious. He’s busy making all the separate, seemingly disjointed, seemingly senseless pieces work together for your good.
