I am not sure about you - but I am certainly feeling very puzzled by all that has been swirling around in the news lately. You begin to wonder who to trust, who really understands and who can ensure that what we are doing with the current health situation is the right thing.Each day more and more pieces of this puzzlement come to light. And try as I might I find that not all of the pieces seem to fit together. I have tried to force a fit. Tried to make plans, tried to organize events only to find that it was not going to work. I find myself out of sorts at times with all of this upheaval.
Interestingly different regions of the country as well as different regions of the state are experiencing different outcomes with the testing of COVID-19. It is like a puzzle that has different images. What pieces fit for one region will not fit for another. And yet, each image needs to be put together in order to have a whole puzzle. Each region of the puzzle touches another region. The pieces all need to fit together.
When working on a puzzle it seems to work best for me when I step away for a bit and allow my mind and eyes a rest from viewing all of the pieces. It seems to me that when I come back to the puzzle a piece will jump out to me and I will be able to be one step closer to finishing the puzzle. Perhaps that is the way that this whole puzzle will be solved. I really am trusting that each state and each community will do what they need to do in order to allow the country to be put back together soon!
One thing that I do know for sure - God has this all under control! There is nothing about this that is a surprise to Him. And He will be faithful to see us all through this confusing and troubling time. And in the end - the puzzle will be complete and will be a beautiful finished product with all the pieces found and in their proper place.
Stay safe all!
