Matthew 16:25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
Yesterday morning when I was about halfway through my morning 2 mile walk I saw a solitary piece from a jigsaw puzzle at the edge of the street. Just two days before I’d had a conversation with a friend about jigsaw puzzles and missing pieces. We want all the pieces of the puzzle to be there. It is that way with our life also. We want to know what is going to happen and what the best action is for us to take in any situation. This past week our sermon was on God’s Word and us being sensitive to God’s voice. I can’t promise a booming clear voice from heaven, but I can say that if you sincerely seek Jesus Christ, putting aside you old life, and develop a regular habit of prayer and Bible reading, you will come to hear God’s direction in your life. God does not turn his back on those who seek him. As we read in Matthew 7 “Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Whoever seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door is opened.
Dear God, There are many puzzles in our lives. We struggle with uncertainty over our future, over relationships and over daily life choices. Speak to us Lord as you will and guide us in your paths. We pray you will be with us this day. Amen.
