The Series of Personal Testimonies, #4: You Have No Problems!
End of Discussion—God’s Final Answer.
We look today at our problems more than the successes in our lives. Problems get all the hype, the headlines in today’s news, and the emotional connections and personal reactions. What about all the non-problems we faced during the day? Where are the emotional gratifications that we need so badly to invest in when things go well, and the real-life stories that make us feel good? So often we are not grateful. We are not thankful. Instead, we look to having problems—what a waste of all that is good in humanity.
During my career in education, I seemed to inherit ‘the problems’ that others often struggled with. When I was brought, a problem there was always an emotional indebtedness to the problem on the part of the sender. My reaction was never one of supporting their personal connection to the problem but rather a simple statement: “Can the problem be fixed?” My response to their perspective on the problem usually always brought about a stunning and insightful reaction: “Well, I guess it can be fixed,” then I say, “I guess you do not have a problem.”
A problem is a problem when you cannot fix it! If a solution is found, if a correction can be made, where is the problem? It is time we quit reacting when a problem is stated. What the problem is in America today are the life-issues that cannot be solved without God and there are many. They usually are perpetuated by the idea that money alone can fix it. There is nothing farther from the truth. We cannot buy our way into contentment or security. We first need to know that every problem can be fixed but it takes strong character, willingness to sacrifice, and ability to see all aspects of the problem from God’s perspective. (God loves to solve problems!)
OK then, what is God’s perspective? It is found in a story that took place about 45 years ago. Two ministers got together to fast and pray for 21 days. During that time, they decide to compare what God was saying to them during their time of prayer. Each one was in a different location and kept a log of what God would tell them that day. To O.J., God said, “You do not have any problems if you are spiritual.” To Dale, God said, “You only have one problem, that is being spiritual.” When they handed to each other their notes for the day, they both began to laugh. To God life does have its struggles and disappointments but in Christ all problems have been solved…period!
We need to see our problems as God sees them—solved. It is not the problem that is my problem, but my perspective of the problem that is the problem. Only God can create problems that cannot be solved—not you, not me, not Satan. So, get ready for the Time of Revelations—when God does end everything with His world-stopping, unsolvable, & not-fixable problems.
A Warning—Do not fail to believe that “nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus”. Jesus already won; there are no problems He cannot fix.
Lesson for Today: God does not see problems;
He only sees His Son’s victory over all that is evil, wrong, and unfixable.
