“'My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,' says the Lord. 'And my ways are far beyond anything you can imagine.'” Isaiah 55:8
I tried to put a puzzle together with my daughter when she was much too young (and much too impatient) to put together a puzzle. She kept trying to put the wrong pieces together. She continued to jam the pieces together for a few minutes and then erupted in frustration. I quickly realized what God must feel like when I try to live life "my way". I keep trying to jam my "square" life in His "round" world.
Lord, help me to realize that the reason my life isn't working out the way I want is because I am trying to play checkers on a Monopoly board.
