The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God. 1 Corinthians 8:2-3
The longer I live, the more I am convinced that I know absolutely nothing about anything. Every day I seem to be searching for the truth - that one piece of knowledge that makes all of life make sense. Maybe if I could find that one missing piece, all the problems of life would disappear, all the struggles in life would be overcome.
But there is nothing we can discover, no mere piece of knowledge that will solve every problem or overcome every struggle. Nothing we could learn or comprehend will fix our brokenness. Yet most of us spend our entire lives looking for that one idea that will make it all fit.
The only truth than makes it fit isn't a thought or an action. It is a person. His name is Jesus Christ. Loving Him opens the door to a relationship with the One True God, the Creator of everything seen and unseen, and He knows how it all works. There is no problem He cannot solve - no struggle He cannot overcome. To know Him and be known by Him is all we really need.
Lord, I keep trying to figure out how to fix everything that is broken in my life. Forgive my arrogance, for I live as if I can do it without You. Intervene in my life, Lord. Make all the pieces fit. I seem to waste so much emotional energy trying to solve every problem and overcome every struggle in my own strength. Make Yourself known, Lord, so today You might be glorified - so all the pieces would finally fit.
I am in Your hands.
