As I was thinking about a computer software problem I realized that I was feeling bad that I could not solve the problem alone. I remembered that Jesus is called our “Advocate”. How would you like to represent yourself as your own lawyer before God in Heaven’s courtroom?. How wonderful That Jesus is our lawyer, our advocate. Being a man, and not God, there are some things I can not do. Then I remembered that God says that “in the multitude of counselors there is safety”. So I should not feel bad to need another to help me solve a problem.
The world is such that if you do not keep pouring energy into your work, it will dissipate into nothing. We have to keep active to keep anything we value. Thank God he pours his energy into us. How could we keep ourselves straight if we did not daily remind ourselves by reading, prayer, fellowship and church about God and his ways? Even as we are doing that we need his Holy Spirit, and we need our family, friends and work-mates..
