When help is no help at all
There have never been so many ways to get help when we're in trouble or in need of advice as nowadays. Doctors, therapists, lawyers, government, books, and family members are just a few examples of the "go-to person." Add to that the advent of the Internet, and the options are endless. Nevertheless, even though these sources can sometimes be of great help, there is only so much they can do.
What are you to do when “help” turns out to be no help at all?
What do you do with a broken marriage, with an incurable disease, a son or daughter heading the wrong path, or with so many debts to pay off? What if after following all the best advice, you still did not find a solution to your problem?
Perhaps you've asked the wrong people for help and left God for last. Look at what God said about this in Isaiah 30:1-2:
“Woe to the rebellious children,” says the LORD, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit... and have not asked My advice.”
Clearly, God takes offense at not being consulted when we need help or advice. Don’t make that mistake.
What if you went to God and asked Him for advice on your situation?

What if you went to God and asked Him for advice on your situation?
- What's the best financial decision?
- Is this person a suitable partner for marriage?
- Should you enter into that business partnership?
- What career should you follow?
- How do I deal with my rebellious teen?
- Should I get another doctor for a second opinion?
This Sunday, June 26th I invite you to bring your questions, important decisions, and requests for guidance to the Lord. Let’s inquire of the One who can truly help us.
