The vast array of possibilities at the start of a new year can feel like a sea of disjointed pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. It is mindbogglingly impossible to imagine how they will fit together to complete a bigger picture, which can be frustrating, discouraging, even overwhelming!!!

But GOD.

How thrilling to grasp that the One who creates each piece of the year ahead also fits those experiences together seamlessly. He places each one in our path at just the right time to allow parts of this year’s story to come into clearer focus. Each piece will tie in beautifully with other details, corner to corner, until our vision expands to see the whole of what He orchestrated and designed from the beginning!

Gracious Heavenly Father, help me to trust You for each placement, one piece at a time, as You faithfully position my heart to receive with JOY the fuller story I can’t begin to imagine today!

Amen.
