With everyday life events, we’ll encounter problems and seek solutions so we aren’t overwhelmed. Frankly, finding some solutions isn’t easy. With life’s responsibilities, solving problems is a challenge we face.

Problem solving is important and goes arm and arm with success. Success acts in harmony with the principles to which success is associated. Ask God to feed us solutions so we may succeed. We are the clay, He is the potter.

Regardless of our circumstances, Christ reveals the wonderful mystery of his power. Obligations can put pressure on us. When problems crop up, do our obligations suffer? Most likely, yes. Do we sometimes feel like abandoning a misguided fate? We can abandon ourselves, but only to the presence of Christ. In doing so, we’ll enjoy the supernatural peace and joy he promises. This is the ultimate solution to our problems.

Don’t live any longer the way the world lives. Let your way of

thinking be completely changed. Then you will be able to test what God

wants for you. And you will agree that what he wants is right. His plan is

Good and pleasing and perfect.

Romans 12: 2 (NIrV)

We must prepare ourselves to receive the Word. As the preceding Bible verse states, let our way of thinking be completely changed. For if a complete change is to happen, we must change our way of thinking. This in turn changes our paradigm. We must shift our focus to Christ.

Our relationship with Christ is most important. Keep this close yo your heart: Christ cannot be taken from us! Christ is greater than creation. Christ is greater than what is created.

Christ does not abandon us. He stays with us. This is why he died on the cross. He died for us. He died for us, knowing that sin enters into our lives, but it doesn’t have to stay in the human experience. How did he know this? Because, he too, was human when he died.
