    Then Satan answered Yahweh, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing? Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. But put forth your hand now, and touch all t...

    You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. In the same way, wasn't Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. James...

    However you are just in all that is come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly; neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you did testify against them. For they have not ser...

The Box of Computer Parts

  • The heavens are Yahweh's heavens, but he has given the earth to the children of men. Psalms 115:16 WEB.

    I watched my son wrestle with connecting the wiring harness to the motherboard of the computer he was building. I could have done it for him, but he was now six years old and needed to learn to do this himself and that the plug only fits one way.

    He wanted a gaming computer for Christmas. So being a computer tech, I bought him something much better: All the parts for a gaming computer in a big cardboard box. Then I let him assemble it himself and install everything from scratch so he would take care of it. Also, he would know every part inside of it.

    Of course, I supervised while he assembled the computer, gave him pointers, and tried to help him avoid common mistakes. I taught him to keep himself grounded to prevent ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and smoking the parts. When he got stumped, I would help him, or when he asked me. But besides those times, I just watched him quietly.

    When the project was complete, he had built much more than a computer. He had built his confidence. Now he had an experience his peers didn't have. Later, when the computers would break at his school, they would ask him to fix them.

    Heaven is God's home, but the Earth God has given to the children of man. He watches us from above as we would observe our children putting together a jigsaw puzzle, a model car, or a gaming computer. The Lord is there and entirely able to help us. In fact, He could do it better than we could, but He won't step in uninvited. God provides what we need, guides us, and will help us when we ask Him to. He wants us to grow in faith and to know that we are not alone here. We can have confidence that He has got our back.

    "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:5 WEB.

    Would you take away your child's model car and assemble it yourself? Do it all for them? That would rob them of the experience. So enjoy your life, and when you get stumped, pray about it. That's our way of getting guidance when we need it, but don't expect a lot of help to come that you didn't ask for.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for all You have given me today. I choose to believe that You are there for me when I need You most. Please guide me this day and help me put all of this together correctly. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
