one solution

Today I saw three men with three different problems but all three came to the same conclusion. First was Isaiah. He lived in a nation that had turned it's back on God. Isaiah was a prophet, he could see the judgement coming. But look at Isaiah 8:11-13, "The LORD spoke to me... do not fear what they fear and do not dread it. The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, He is the one you are to fear." The next guy is Paul. His problem was a physical limitation that he had asked for deliverance from. His answer is found in 2Cor.9-10,"My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness... that is why I delight in weakness..." Then there is David. He had a close friend who had betrayed him. David could not trust any one but He ends Ps.55 with the words, "But as for me, I trust in You." Whether our problems are from outside the home or inside our close circle or even in our own body, the answer is the same. If we fear God and trust God then we can even "delight in difficulties"
