If faced with extreme pain, would you go to a mechanic? Or problems with your engine, to a doctor? Of course not. Every profession has its purpose, and we go to them with the faith that they will be able to help us with our problems. It takes faith to put your body or your possessions in the hands of another human being but often we do it without a second thought.
However, when the problem lies deeper than the body or it is something the human eye cannot detect, where does help come from?
Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
Psalms 107:6
The word distress suggests something much deeper than a pain or a physical problem. Depression, unexplainable diseases, and the problems that eat away at the soul can only be solved when we look for help in the right place.
The same way we look high and low for a solution when we are in physical pain is the same determination we must have when looking for a solution in the Lord. He is inviting you to call upon Him. You won’t have to make an appointment or wait in line. He is omnipresent and is waiting to hear from you.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
