God Can Solve Your Biggest Puzzle.

Proverbs 20:24
24 A man's steps are directed by the LORD.
How then can anyone understand his own way?


Have you ever picked up a Rubik's cube and wondered how the heck to solve it? I know I can look at one for an hour and make no progress; I may just turn it and turn it trying to get the colors aligned only to no avail. How about a puzzle? I never really liked puzzles for this reason. It was too time consuming. I would always spend too much time trying to find one piece. Half the time, there's a couple pieces in the end anyway.

In much of the same way, if we try to solve the pieces of our lives, it's a million times harder without God. Think about it; there are just way too many decisions to make to get through on your own. If you have God in your life, he can tell you when to turn and when not to turn. The important thing to remember is that you have to surrender your life to God. There's no going halfway. It's either all or nothing. Better yet, it's either God has your life or Satan has your life, which you don't want. He will try to convince you more than anything that God doesn't exist.

In order to receive the abundant life that God so desperately wants for you, you have to trust in his directions and guidance throughout life and promise to answer his call of surrender. God even provides examples in the New Testament of how this works to show you its validity. He will bless your socks off in the same way as his disciples if you do what they did. Of course you'll mistakes, you're human, but it's your attitude that matters. Mike Guzzardo said, "Surrender is an attitude of the heart, where we continually allow God to lead, instruct, and mold our lives as he desires." God is looking for you to give up every part of your life to follow him out of your own good nature.
