Psalms 37:7
Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
I loved watching a TV show called Psych. It was about a guy who was overly observant and could solve crimes. However, the only way he could get people to believe him was to act as a psychic. That is very over simplified, but the jest of it. Quite often in the episodes, he would say, “Wait for it. . .” Then something would come to light. When I read today’s verse I couldn’t help but hear this phrase.
Waiting is not an easy thing to do. Heck, I am convinced that patience is a cuss word . . . LOL! However, we can’t do one thing God can. We cannot see the whole picture. We only see a puzzle piece of what is going on and often the piece looks bad, really bad. God sees how bad it is too, but He also sees how it fits to the next piece and the next one and soon those bad pieces turn into a beautiful picture. We just have to wait for it.
So, the next time life around you is looking really bad, remember it is just a piece of your life, not the entire puzzle. The ultimate puzzle master is still in charge and your picture will turn out beautiful.
Lord, today is just a piece in my beautiful puzzle. Good or bad, I will hang on for the entire picture. ~amen
