Sometimes we treat problems and trials as if we were on a television commercial. We rush around thinking we have to solve everything in 30 seconds. When we can't, we panic. We try every option we can think of to overcome our problems and difficulties. When none of them work, we reluctantly turn to God as a last resort. What if we made God our first resort? What a wonderful difference that would make! A.W. Tozer wisely said, "The man [or woman] who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems, for he sees at once that these have to do with matters which at the most cannot concern him for very long." God did not create you and me to be self-sufficient. Instead, God created us to depend on Him. Do you face a difficult situation, my friend? Has your way been covered by a heavy fog? God has not allowed this situation to come into your life to discourage or defeat you. Every trial you and I face is an opportunity for God to demonstrate who He is to us. The Bible says, “Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD himself, is the Rock eternal” [Isaiah 26:4]. Put your trust in Him today. This is Luis Palau.
