JUST ONLY GOD?
You know, there are many times when I have no one to really go to. Now, I must qualify that statement. I have my dear wife, Nancy; I have some trusted professional friends; I have some close individuals; I even have my grown children whom I love dearly.
But I say, some times I have no one to go to except the Lord. Now, that might sound trite to you, but He is always there.
Abraham Lincoln once said, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day."
That, my friend, is where I am coming from. Yet, thousands of years before that quote is this quote from David, King of Israel.
"Whom have I in heaven but
You? and there is none upon earth that I desire
beside you. My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the
strength of my heart, my portion forever." So, I ask you
where do you go when you have a problem? When things
just do not work out. May I encourage you to do as
Abraham Lincoln and King David did - and I might add, as
so many others have done. God is always there. When the
problems are big - bigger than anything in your life,
remember that true life and answers are found in Him. My prayer for you:
Lord, bless this dear reader. May they truly know
in their gut that you are there to comfort and cheer.
True, you are always there when we have no other one else
to whom to turn. May we turn to you first.
Amen
