It's interesting how we can solve many of our problems by just realizing that we already possess most of the information we need. Imagine asking God about the color of paint I should use in the attic! The next thing I wanted to check would probably have been whether God preferred me to get a haircut this week or next. As I mulled these things over in my mind, it became clear to me that any color I chose for the room in the attic would be fine. If I preferred blue, then blue was excellent. If green made me happy, then I should color my attic green. It was up to me to decide what to do about haircuts, tires and such matters.
I slowly walked back to the house, thinking how we look to God to solve so many problems that we ourselves are well equipped to handle. It seemed to me that it was simply better to do all we could about the problem and then leave the rest to God. The Creator has already provided us with the tools we needed for living. All we have to do is make an effort to find and use them properly.
It was approaching four o'clock and God would be arriving soon. I had started out trying to figure what questions to ask Him. How could I have forgotten to think of asking for some help for old Mrs. Jones, whose husband had recently died? And yes, I should have considered offering assistance to that family who lost everything in a house fire the other day. I definitely should solicit God's aid for those in greater need than myself. Next to their problems, mine seemed so insignificant. However, this time, I'll also ask about Mardai and her life.
With these thoughts, I pulled out the coffeepot,started a fresh brew and sat down at the kitchen table to await the arrival of God.
