I have been having car problems and I've been feeling discouraged about that. I seem to have a long track record in that area. When I am overwhelmed by problems or issues, my first response is to think that it's all up to me to find a solution, and my resources are all I have to rely upon. Basically, I forget that God is my Father, and a very good one at that! He is everything to me, and I forget to take all of my needs and worries and concerns to Him. How crazy is that! Instead I worry, I fret, I work myself into a little self-pity party and crawl into a corner. And not to suffer quietly, I whine to everyone who will listen. How pathetic that is!
Then my wonderful heavenly Father comes along and meets my need. He doesn't lecture me about my not coming to Him, or about my whining. He just takes care of everything and blesses my socks off! He truly is my "very present help in trouble," as the psalmist says.
Really, now, how much sense does it make to depend upon me when I can depend upon Someone Who is loving and powerful and more than enough for me?
