    Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers; But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its se...

    When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean." Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I want to. Be made clean." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8...

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.

    We had scattered pieces all over the table while we worked on assembling a jigsaw puzzle. It was a total mess. This one was mysteriously difficult, for someone had mistakenly or intentionally mixed a couple of other puzzles in the same box. Now some pieces didn't belong there at all. Fortunately, we had a picture to go by, so it eventually began to take shape, and when it was finally complete, the puzzle turned out beautiful.

    God can see the big picture of your life while you can't. He knows the end from the beginning. He can see what pieces need to stay and what needs to be removed. After walking and cooperating with Him for a while, your life will begin to take shape. And when it's complete, it will be something beautiful.

    Work with God, and allow Him to separate you from the things that don't belong in your life. He won't separate you from your friends or the things you love and want to keep around, like lust for greed. You must hate it, guard against it, and separate yourself from it. For if He delivered you from something that you love, you would just return to it later. And for your sake, if He sets you free from something, don't return to it lest it becomes seven times worse (Luke 11:26).

    We all have free will to choose what God we will serve, just as Joshua and the Israelites did (Joshua 24:15). Calling Jesus Lord only gives Him a title. It's doing what He says that actually makes Him your Lord (Luke 6:46). You belong to whom you obey (Romans 6:16).

    Yet, don't get ahead of God and throw out pieces He intends to keep. Work at His pace. You don't need to understand everything right now. He does, and that's enough. It's one piece at a time and one day at a time. It's line upon line, here a little, there a little. Eventually, this thousand-piece puzzle will begin to make more sense.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I choose You today. Please help me get in tune with Your plan for my life, and change what You will. Guide me, and help me make the right decisions. Teach me, and reveal Your path to me today. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

    Note: 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God.' (Philippians 4:6-7) ~ If you have a prayer need, we are here for you! We and the prayer team are ready to lift you up at our private prayer page: RHM Prayer Network
