Sometimes problems pile up so high we don’t know what to do. Some problems catch us off guard, some we ignore until the pile grows so high it’s out of control, and other times it seems like we have been hit with a storm of various problems that may overwhelm us.

No matter what life throws our way, we can know with certainty that God is never caught off guard and that He always has a solution to any problem we may face.

Ignoring a problem may give us temporary relief but it doesn’t cause the problem to go away. Ignoring the problem is a sign that we need to go to God for a solution. God holds the solution and the peace and empowerment we need to deal with the problem – or problems.

Thinking things through and reflecting on your options are good to do but don’t limit yourself to those options. Don’t neglect seeking God for the best way to deal with things. Best is better than good. Allow Him to lead you in the best way. Let Him show you His plan.

Our well-intentioned plans are often equivalent to taking a baby shovel to a mountain of snow when God may have a giant bulldozer for us to use. On the other hand, maybe we have a bulldozer we are using but God has a different plan. Just know that God’s plan is ALWAYS the best plan!
