Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say? Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like. He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke agains... -
You are of your Father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn't stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44 WEB.We had been out ...

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after a...
The Jigsaw Puzzle

For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little. Isaiah 28:10 WEB
With scattered pieces all over the table, we worked on assembling the jigsaw puzzle. It was a mess. This one was seriously difficult because someone had mistakenly mixed a couple of other puzzles together in the same box, and now there were pieces that did not belong there at all. Fortunately we had a picture to go by, and eventually it began to take shape. When it was finally complete, the puzzle was beautiful.
God sees the bigger picture of your life, while you cannot. He knows what pieces to keep, and what needs to be removed. After walking with Him a while, your life will begin to take shape, and when complete, it will become something beautiful.
Work with God and allow Him to separate you from the things that do not belong in your life. He will not separate you from your friends, or the things that you love and want to keep around, like lust, or greed. You have to hate it, guard against it, and separate yourself from it. If He delivered you from something that you love, you would just return to it later.
We have a free will to choose what God we serve just as Joshua and the Israelites (Joshua 24:15). Calling Jesus Lord only gives Him a title, it is doing what He says that actually makes Him your Lord (Luke 6:46). You belong to whom you obey (Romans 6:16).
Do not get ahead of God and begin to throw out things that He intends to keep. Just work at His pace. You do not need to understand everything right now, He does, and that is enough. It is one piece at a time and one day at a time. It is line upon line, here a little, there a little, eventually this thousand piece puzzle will begin to make sense.
