IN MY home, I have an integrated stereo system. The TV is connected to the satellite dish, which is connected to the CD player, which is connected to the cassette recorder, which is connected to the DVD player, which is connected to the tuner, which is connected to this, that, and the other. If you look behind the wall unit, there are a million different wires going everywhere. One day the DVD player wasn’t working. I couldn’t fix it because there were too many wires and there were too many holes. I didn’t know which wire went into which hole.

So I called the people who installed it, and told them my DVD player wasn’t working. I told them that I’d tried everything I knew to try and I couldn’t get it going. I asked them to help me. They agreed to have a technician out to me shortly.

The technician came, took a look at my system, went to his truck to grab a couple of parts, and voila! my DVD player was working again! I have no idea how he fixed my problem, but his company manufactured the unit, so he knew what he was doing and knew exactly how to fix the problem.

Your life’s got too many wires and this world offers too many holes. Instead of just trying wires, how about calling the manufacturer and letting Him send a technician who knows what He’s doing?567
