My old laptop simply would not run the MacBible software anymore. Though I had experimented with it for hours, nothing worked. My wife, wise woman that she is, suggested that I call the owners of the software for help, but no, I knew what I was doing.

That morning, after having exhausted every last idea, I gave in and called the MacBible Corporation. After speaking to a friendly voice, I was assured that the person to whom I was being referred would know exactly what to do. I wasn’t convinced, but I called him anyway.

The name I had been given sounded familiar, and I soon learned why. The person on the other end of the line was none other than the man who had written the MacBible software. He gave me a brief set of instructions, which I wrote down. In minutes, my computer software program was up and running. I just had to go to the man who wrote the program.

How many times in life don’t we try to work out our problems our own way? Finally, when all else has failed, we go to the one who designed us. Soon, if we obey, we find ourselves once again at peace with God and functioning as he planned.
