We Can Call For Help

The other day, I walked into the Institute building and noticed a large wet patch on the carpet. Apparently, there had been some kind of plumbing issue, and both of the restrooms were out of order, but a plumber had already been called, and help was on the way. We live in an age of miracles, not the least of which is the fact that, when things go wrong, we can call for help.

This naturally applies to spiritual matters as well as temporal matters. Whenever we have a spiritual problem, like an affliction, a temptation, or a trial of faith, we can call on God for aid, especially if we have been making any attempt to be righteous at that point. And the blessings don't end there. We can also call on God for guidance with our temporal problems, including any plumbing or flooding issues we may have.

I am thankful that help is so readily available to those who need it. It's comforting to know that, whatever problems you may face, there is help available. We can always call on the Lord for help with our problems, and there are usually other people we can call on as well. Life is full of problems, but those problems become much more bearable when we remember that we can call for help.
