"The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything."
~Author Unknown
"You can trust the Man who died for you. You can trust Him to thwart each plan that should be stopped and to complete each one that results in His greatest glory and your highest good. You can trust Him to lead you down the path that is the very best in this world for you."
~Streams in the Desert, p. 295
Sometimes things in life like problems, discouragements, and pain, have a way making us feel like we can't trust anything or anybody. Sometimes the problems just have a way of sapping what little bit of life we thought we had left inside of us, making us feel less than capable to handle the situation. Whatever situation we find ourselves in the shortest distance between that problem and the solution is the distance of our knees to the floor. It's sad that when we finally hit the floor on our knees it is usually because that is the last option. We've tried to do everything else we can to make whatever we are trying to work, work. In reality, if we would just go to our knees in the beginning things wouldn't be so bad. I can trust Him to lead me down the path that is the very best in the whole wide world for me!
