One of my Christmas presents was a new puzzle! I have pieces all over on my card table top which measures 30 x 30 inches. While all the pieces are turned over to face me, some of them are piled on top of one another!
The puzzle once it is completed is about 19 x 27. I am not working hard on it; just finding a few pieces here and there; now and then. But I am finding the more pieces which fit together, the more room I have on my table! Once I get the puzzle completed, I will have room to spare! And my finished piece will look exactly like the picture on the box!
Made me think about our lives. The more we trust In Jesus. The more we work together as a family. Or as a church. Or maybe as a community. The better we 'fit' together! As we use the 'picture' - the Bible - as our Guide, we can make a completed picture!
“Don’t suppose for a minute that I have come to demolish the Scriptures—either God’s Law or the Prophets. I’m not here to demolish but to complete. I am going to put it all together, pull it all together in a vast panorama. God’s Law is more real and lasting than the stars in the sky and the ground at your feet. Long after stars burn out and earth wears out, God’s Law will be alive and working."
~ Matthew 5:17 & 18 (The Message)
