The Maddening Joy of Solving a Puzzle

Through solving a puzzle, we can see how God has a design for each one of us. He has plans for our moments, days and years.BEFORE & AFTER SOLVING THE PUZZLE…

We left the puzzle pieces on the homeschool table and worked to solve it in between math tests and latin conjugation. We snuck moments together before dinner and after the dishes were done. Working on a puzzle is a maddening joy.

We lost pieces for days—they were under the bench. We joined shapes the wrong way…we forced things to fit together that weren’t made for each other. We had to keep going till we came to terms with the original design for each piece.

God has a design for each of us. He has plans for our moments, days and years. We might try to force things to go our way, but they won’t work that way. Constantly, faithfully, He is at work to create the picture that He created our lives to be. Through the work of jesus Christ, He is always making good.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28, ESV).

Sample Instagram Post:

Jesus takes all the pieces in our lives, that don’t seem fit, and uses them to create a beautiful picture of His love for us. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together (Col 1:17, ESV).
