Let God Help!
"Your mercy, O Lord,
is in the heavens; Your
faithfulness reaches
to
the clouds."
Psalm 36: 5
Dr. Russ White was trying to help a three-year-old
girl at Tenwek Hospital in Kenya. The child was
in
severe respiratory distress due to a red bean she
had aspirated. Dr. White put a scope down the
child’s throat three times, trying to remove the
bean.
As he prepared to open the girl’s chest in a last-ditch
effort to save her life, the Lord whispered in his ear,
“Try again. Let Me do this with you.” The scope went
down once more and this time—success!
When we work simply with our own skills, abilities,
strength, and personalities, we face limitations. But
when the
Lord comes alongside us and does it with
us—indeed, He does it through us—we have
success.
We don't solve problems on our own,
but we do have a Friend who can!
He is faithful to us, even when we fear
and solve problems in our own strength.
Instead
of fear, trust in the faithfulness of
our Almighty God to act on your behalf.
"If we do not understand and trust God’s
faithfulness, we will not trust the rest of
his character either."
