Trust in Jesus, rest in him, because one day, Jesus will complete the puzzle.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada and I was going through my art files recently and found a pencil drawing that an artist-friend rendered of me after my diving accident: the drawing looks like a puzzle with “pieces of the puzzle” missing in my hair, in my face, and neck. It’s a very true representation of what I was going through right after my diving accident. I was young and scared and just beginning to, well, fit together the puzzle of my suffering by sorting through God's Word. And what did I find out? Simply this: Wisdom is not the ability to figure out the puzzle pieces of your life and how they fit. Rather, wisdom is trusting God even when things don't fit; even when some of the pieces of your life-puzzle are missing. 1 Corinthians 2 says, “Our faith doesn’t rest on our wisdom, but in the power of God to work gloriously in us.” So, trust in him; rest in him; because one day, Jesus Christ will complete the puzzle.
