Stop Whining And Start Crying

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:6

There is so much in this little verse! Let's start, today, at the beginning.

"This poor man cried." Ever find yourself asking God why? We question why we're facing the junk that we have to face on a daily basis, why He's let us come against our problems, why He doesn't remove them, why life has to be so complicated and difficult. But have we actually asked Him to do anything about the problem? It's easy to complain without consulting. Don't ask God why you're in a trial before you've asked Him to do something about it! Now, sometimes God will intervene of His own volition to take care of something for us. Other times, though, He wants us to come to Him. Sometimes we have to sit in our problems and sink a little, so that we will get back to the point where we realize how poor and helpless we are and cry to Him for help. So I guess it's really up to us, a lot of times (though not always,) how long we'll stay in trouble. Quit wasting time questioning why, and ask for help!
