He is the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them…

To look at the box or not?

Why make a puzzle harder than it is?

I always look at the picture on the puzzle box but my mom does not. I like to know where to go – but she goes with the flow – Yes, the little colorful sections she does well – and I can’t say I do any better by looking at the box – but I think I do!

But life? Who envisioned this puzzle? I never want to go it alone. I know that God knows the box, the pieces and the fix. God looks at the Box – because He made it.

I want to be led by God – Why make life’s puzzle harder than it is!

Puzzle the Box, NOT. Listen to God.

Amen

Psalm 146

Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord, my soul.

I will praise the Lord all my life;
    I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Do not put your trust in princes,
    in human beings, who cannot save.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
    on that very day their plans come to nothing.
Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.

He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
    the sea, and everything in them—
    he remains faithful forever.
He upholds the cause of the oppressed
    and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets prisoners free,
    the Lord gives sight to the blind,
the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down,
    the Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord watches over the foreigner
    and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

The Lord reigns forever,
    your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Praise the Lord.
