Rubik's Cube
This analogy's quite nice. Got it from some book, and will try to put it into my own words as accurately as possible.
In the world of Rubik's Cube, there are only 2 groups pf people: experts and those who CMI. Quite obvious which group you'll belong to:) Pass the square to somebody from the latter? Will take years to complete, and seems impossible to even so. No matter how much he or she twists and turns, the cube goes back to square 1, or may even end up in a bigger mess. Without help, that person usually ends up discouraged, and will most likely give up.
That is until an expert comes along. The pro of the Rubik cube. And what seems to others as a challenge, is merely a routine for the pro. Others struggle with it; the pro chills with it. He knows what he's doing; it's HIS territory.
We can't compete with God. It's His game. He'll own us totally. What seems like a problem to us is actually a process for Him. We twists and turn on our own? Not much progress. Hand the cube to Him? On the way to victory. We place ourselves in the hands of the pro who knows it all; every single step ahead; every twist and turn, all which brings us one step closer to a win. Best to surrender to Him, and the great news is that He's on our side. Not to 'compete' with us, but to help us through. To teach us which are the best moves, even if it involves painful turns that seem meaningless at times. But slowly we'll learn.
Time will understand the mystery of His plan.
And finally one day, He'll hand over the cube to us, for us to solve. Get stucked again? He's there ready to help.
Btw, there's an official Rubik Cube website. ;)
