“No Problem.” Who doesn’t want to hear this? Especially when you thought you had a big problem.
That child who broke a glass while washing the dishes, in their mind, was thinking that life is over and big trouble is coming, only to hear from the parent, “No problem, it was an accident. Are you okay?” Wow, what a relief!
The child who was terrified now has peace of mind. Why? Because their parent assured them that all was well. The parent had the authority and condition to replace that glass and make things better!
What about a client searching for a lawyer to help with a very difficult case? When they explain everything to their lawyer and give all their evidence, they hear, “No problem, I got you; they cannot win.” Can you imagine the enormous weight lifted from this client’s shoulders? The lawyer assured them everything would be okay. Why? Because he understands the law and the procedures of the court system. What the client thought was the end of his life was just a simple open-and-shut case.
Only those in authority with the wisdom of the specific situation would be able to pass such assurance. There was a big problem in the Bible—at least for the parents of this child. She was dead, and for the parents, this was a huge problem.
Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.” (Luke 8:52)
They got the same reply from the Heavenly Father: ‘No problem, your daughter is sleeping.’ Their problem wasn’t bigger than the power of the God of the Bible, and He is the same today, and He will be forever powerful!
No matter the problems you are facing right now, do this: stop and breathe. Take a step back and compare this problem to the power of God. It’s as small and harmless as a raindrop. Now, take it to Him in prayer and receive your “no problem” answer. It’s a matter of faith. Go ahead and use your faith; a miracle awaits you.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
