Rubik's Cube
Remember when the Rubik's cube was the thing everyone wanted to play with? It didn't take me long to figure out that, for me, it was more a source of frustration than a challenge to be conquered. This square with rotating parts that had to be maneuvered in order to turn all the squares on each side to the same color might take me weeks to figure out. I'm not sure that I ever accomplished the challenge. And I'm ok with never trying it again! I was curious to know how quickly someone could do it...and the world record for setting the 3x3 Rubik's cube to completion is 3.13 seconds. I can't even fathom how that is possible!
Recently, a friend showed me a Rubik's cube that had a different family photo on each of its sides rather than a single color. How much more difficult that would be to put together! Each small square was part of a specific family picture. Sometimes in the effort to straighten out and connect one family photo...another side had to be disrupted in order to bring the whole picture together. And so often, others are impacted by one square or one picture not being in the right place.
Our lives are a bit like that Rubik's cube. Our current situation isn't altogether. Sometimes our space is impacted by someone else trying to straighten out their picture. Maybe our family picture won't ever look the same again in this life. Here's what we can know beyond any doubt: our great God is holding ALL of us in His mighty hand. Colossians 1:16-17 (MSG) states, "For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels - everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment."
Rest in knowing that there isn't a single part of your life that isn't being held by God...and He is holding it all together.
