When a problem overwhelms beyond one's capacity to handle it, where does he or she look? A child moving a tricycle might seem a monumental task until an adult moves the trike with ease. Pushing a car out of traffic may seem impossible until a bus load of football players unload to come along in aid. Financial devastation may evoke despair until a guru of money comes along. Let's face it, some problems are just too big.
But what about depression, loneliness, anxiety, or guilt? What about fear, shame, anger and disappointment? These are intangible. These cannot be handled by a bus load of football players, nor will any guru be able to remove them. Oh, there are commercials that advertise pills, lots and lots of pills, but beneath the medicines, within the soul, where does the real help come from?
An old manuscript states, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comes my help. My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.” Maybe the next time the reader has a problem that plays out to be much greater than he or she can bare, the answer will be found by casting their view toward one who overcame more hills in a day than any person will ever have in a lifetime. Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
