When Things Go Wrong
Is it second nature for you to talk to God about everything? We are told to pray without ceasing, but some are too busy to pray ... until things go wrong. That sort of prayer treats God like a butler, when we are the ones who should be the servants of God. A man was once chopping down a tree with a blunt axe. A friend suggested that he stop for a moment to sharpen his axe. He replied, "I'm trying to chop down this tree. I haven't got time to stop and sharpen the axe!" If he would only stop for a moment and sharpen the axe, he would slice through the tree with greater ease. Whatever you have to do each day, stop and sharpen the axe through prayer. You will slice through the day with great ease. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.l have time.
