“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; April 7, 2008

           I remember when our children were young they would want to display a spirit of independence and tell us, “I can to do it myself!”.   Often, it would have been a lot easier for us as parents to do it; but, sometimes it was better for them to learn on their own.  There would; however, come a time when either safety, frustration, ineptness or even the mere interest of time would require us to pitch in and help them out. 

          As children of God, there are times when show that same independent streak?  We look at our situation and, in the arrogance of humanity, we tell God that we want to take care of our own problems.  Sometimes, we manage; but, what happens when we find ourselves becoming frustrated with the problem or facing an issue that we just can’t handle?  Are we like a two-year-old and plow ahead endangering ourselves or are we willing to show some maturity; admit our shortcomings and ask for His help?

          Are we frustrated with an issue of life?  Are we ready to let go and let God?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
