Scattered

- Inspired by Jesus Calling devotion book by Sarah Young

Isaiah 55:8-9 ~ "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,"

declares the LORD.

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Life can be seen as a box of puzzle pieces - missing the box top. Allowing us to only see the scattered puzzle pieces. Looking around at our lives we see a bunch of mixed up pieces, but God sees the final picture.

At this very moment in my life and maybe yours too, I am an unfinished puzzle (piece) trying to find how I fit into this world. I am confused, scared, and I do not know what the next step in my life is suppose to be. But God sees the final picture.

Jeremiah 29:11 ~ "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and to not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

God knows how all the pieces fit together. He knows how to join together all the jagged pieces of hurts and disappointments, plus the smooth pieces of victories and joys.

In such difficult times and throughout your life I can confidently say this; turn to God. Trust him enough to guide you through each day, accomplishing His purpose within His timing.

I challenge you, as I challenge myself; Trust His timing and His ways.

1 Corinthians 12:31 ~ "And yet I will show you the most excellent way."
