When you order high-speed Internet, you can be sure of one thing: the customer service will not be. Gone are the days when someone came to your house to install it. Now, the box arrives on your front porch with pictorial instructions on how the whole thing is supposed to go together. Now, I know plenty of intelligent people who can’t figure out how to add an attachment to an email, much less set up their Internet. I found a QR code that instructed me to hold my camera to the Wi-Fi hook-up in my house. Wedging between a wall and the entertainment center, I captured the photo only to be told I had the wrong equipment and to call an 800 number. An automated voice asked a series of questions I couldn’t answer, including how they get those little ships in the bottles and why they put salt in ice cream. The story gets worse, but we will stop there. What happened to customer service? What happened to people that you could depend upon to help? Friend, we get wedged into impossible circumstances in our lives as well and turn to all the wrong places, including ourselves, for help. There is help for all of our troubles in life. It is straightforward, personal, and loving. The Bible tells us that God is our strength, our help in trouble. He waits for us to call on him. Yet we will jump through hoop after hoop, trying to figure it out ourselves. Nothing is too complicated for God. Go to him in prayer. Read the Bible. Let him be your refuge in times of trouble. He alone holds all the answers!
IT'S A HARnDen LIFE...
