Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may
exalt you in due time.
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers pro football coach John McKay was in the midst of a long, losing
season, when he was asked what he thought of his team's execution. His answer: "I'm in favor of
it."
That's a joke of course, but what life does to us sometimes, however, is no joke.
We can find solutions to our problems when we turn them over to God. There is always a way
out. It may not be a smooth road, but God can help us find a solution if we will only put it in His
hands.
Prayer: Dear God, I give you all of my troubles. Please bring me hope and healing.
Amen.
