A problem solver is the most useful person around because most people don't know what to do with their problems most think their problems are their problems, but this is never the case.
The problem is never the problem, the real problem is our attitude toward it.
Just ask David. Better still, ask his brothers, who were paralyzed with fear for 6 weeks by the taunts of a giant. They were held captive by their own distorted perception to the point that they couldn't solve the problem. the giant was too big. they shivered in terror. but from Davids perspective, formed by an absolute faith in God, the giant was simply too big to miss.
Your problem is your opportunity. ..when opportunity knocks, the pessimist complains about the noise, but the faith person always sees a way through. ..the person of faith knows there's an answer, no matter how difficult the problem.
...(Jesus) He let them know it wasn't a matter of finding out why, but a matter of solving the problem. He explained that the problem existed so the glory of god could be revealed.
That's the ultimate purpose of problems: to be solved by the power of God so His glory can be revealed. .(God) He is able to make all things possible. He made a way through the red sea for an entire nation. He defeated the Egyptian army through the power of a rod lifted in the sky. He raised the dead.
