Love's unexpected solutions

It's impossible to limit the ways God can meet our needs.

Elizabeth Woolley

I've done the best I can, but ..." we often say. Yet where does this leave us? As part of an endless line of unresolved problems? That's the generally accepted thought. But couldn't it be that there's an unordinary line of solutions—where the adventure and originality of spiritual ideas are ready to pull us ahead?

This line of spiritual thinking is a twentieth-century link in scientific knowledge that had its origin long before the Christian era. Those individuals in the Bible who sought and found practical answers to their needs were ordinary people like us, with one difference. They had learned how to draw upon and utilize God's power. It's possible for us to find and use this same unlimited power today.

In one spectacular case "a poor wise man" (that's what he's called in the Bible) saved a city. Doesn't this show that no one is insignificant when he embodies the wisdom and intelligence of God? Think of what unconventional strategy must have come to that spiritually wise man to take.
