"For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away." -I Corinthians 13:9-10 (NASB)
My daughter has recently been interested in building puzzles. Trying to build the puzzle without looking at the puzzle box can be challenging! As we work to put together the puzzle, she has learned the value of seeing the complete picture and trying to line up the smaller pieces. In our faith we may not see the complete picture because of our earthly limitations, but we can get an idea of how the pieces fit together!
In our faith there are many pieces that fit together, most importantly God and our Savior, Jesus Christ. We also need to learn and grow. We have fellowship with other believers. We have our lives to live in the world. The list could continue. When we look at each piece, we can see part of God's plan, the big picture. To help us put all of the pieces together, we can rely on the tools that God has given us. We can look at the Bible as the "puzzle box lid" that helps us see God's plan through His Word and we can talk to God through prayer and listen to His response. Knowing these parts can prepare us until Christ returns and our knowledge becomes whole and complete in Him!
Allow God to help you know more about the parts so you are ready to know about the whole!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for providing me tools to know more about You and to prepare for when I meet You face to face. Through Jesus Christ, my Savior, I pray, amen.
