I wonder if the world we live in and our individual lives are represented best by a Rube Goldberg machine. Think of how complicated and how much nonsense seem to be involved in one of those machines and yet ultimately it completed the task that needed to be done. Do you see any parallels in your life?
God created the world. God made man. Originally everything was perfect, until it wasn’t. Satan messed it up. Everything was thrown out of whack. And now, we are in the midst of finding a solution. We may go through many different stages. We may follow many weird roads. But ultimately under God’s guidance, we will arrive at the destination.
He knows where we are going. He knows how to get there. Just because the current situation does not make sense to us does not mean it is not perfectly clear to God. A jigsaw puzzle was once a perfect picture. Then, for fun, someone decided to cut it up. When you dump it out of the box for the first time it makes no sense but time will bring a solution. He even provides a picture on the front.
Rube Goldberg machines are fun to watch. Get in the habit of enjoying the chaos of life.
