SEEKING THE BEST!

“SINCE HE HIMSELF HAS GONE THROUGH SUFFERING AND TESTING, HE IS ABLE TO HELP US WHEN WE ARE BEING TESTED.” HEBREWS 2:18

When we have problems with our car, we want to have the best mechanic we can find, one with the most experience and success. When we become sick, we want the best doctors that we can find. We want those that have the most experience and success rate. When we need a new roof for our house, we seek out the best person for the job. We seek out someone with experience and a good reputation for doing good work. When we have any needs where we need outside help, we always want the best and not someone who is just OK. We should apply the same principals when we are going through testing or trials and temptations. We should be seeking out the best. Jesus has gone through it all. He has walked in our shoes and gone through any test or any problem or any persecution you and I might encounter. He has been there and done that. He has vast experience and a huge success rate. He gets 5 stars out of a 5-star rating system. When we have problems why do we by-pass the best? Why do we first try to do things ourselves? Why not go to Jesus first and let him direct us to where we need to go? Why not believe in his success and past history? Our Lord has provided us with a direct line of communication with him. We should train ourselves up to listen and be aware of his responses. When we communicate with him, we seem to want to lay our problems at his feet and then pick them back up and walk away with them. Our Lord has more than a 5-star rating. He is the total and the end answer. Without him our problems become larger and more complex. But with him we can allow him to take control and have comfort that he has the answers. We should believe that we receive because our God in heaven is our source!! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
