Don’t Try Harder, Rely Harder!

 

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him...”

Isaiah 59:19b (KJV)

 

 

What do you do when “…all hell breaks loose…” as the proverbial saying goes?

How do you respond when anything and everything that could go wrong, does?

I once heard a little poem offering this advice:

“When in danger, when in doubt,

run in circles, scream and shout!”

Not exactly a biblical admonition, is it?

So what would you do?

How about prayer?

How about calling out to the Name of The Lord?

How about when the storm tries to blow you over, you lean harder on the LORD.

Too often, we try harder to stand on our own.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

This is sound advice offered in Proverbs 3:5-6.

Don’t try harder, don’t lean on your own wisdom, education,

purse strings, family ties, reputation or skill.

None of these things can deliver you in the day of trouble.

When all hell comes against you, hide in the secret place of the

Most High and lean harder on Him!

You will find that He is that very present help in time of trouble!
