Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
Psalm 36:5
Recommended Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:4-9
Samaritan’s Purse recently told of Dr. Russ White who 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 seemed to whisper 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 cannot solve problems on our own, but we do have a Friend who can!
He is faithful to us, even when we are fearful and try to solve our problems in our own strength. Instead of acting in fear, trust in the faithfulness of our Almighty God to act on your behalf.
