Hebrews 11:1 Now FAITH is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things WORK TOGETHER for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,
1 Corinthians 2:9 But just as it is written, “Things that no eye has seen, or ear heard, or mind imagined, are the things God has PREPARED for those who love Him.”

Each one of us is a puzzle piece. We see our lives and know our borders. We may even see those that connect to us. And our situations are our whole view. But if you saw the bigger picture like God does, you would understand that struggle you are going through, or that valley that you are in. The only problem with this illustration is that it is a single facet of our existence and God sees the WHOLE thing. He sees the past mistakes and triumphs, the future decisions and paths, and the present predicament. Putting your trust in Jehovah-Jireh is more than believing He will provide. Jehovah-Jireh is most often interpreted as “The Lord will provide”. But the literal translation is The Lord sees as in “is seeing to it”. He is seeing the bigger picture. And our edges may have started to come apart or a piece been torn off, but we still fit into the bigger picture. We still create, when we are all connected, that image that God sees. It may change, that image, in His eyes because we have free will and may not sometimes fit in the spot He had chosen for us. It may have small gaps where we as an individual have let some hurt gouge a part of our piece in the image. But that image isn’t going away. And there isn’t anything you can do about it. Don’t want to be in the picture? You can’t NOT be. Don’t like the image you see? Then change it. You CAN choose to line up with God’s picture for your life. But you still won’t understand it all. Because you aren’t looking at the whole thing. But you can realize that your little segment is just that. Little. There is a larger design. There is a grander scheme. And understanding THAT will make the trials that much more bearable. Understanding that there is a puzzle master who is fitting the pieces together to make that image, should make you feel like nothing is pointless.
