\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My frustrations didn\u2019t finish with the computer, as then the printer began to play up. The trouble was that the printer was the problem in the first place, and I didn\u2019t want to face the facts. So I went through all the frustrations of having the printer work sometimes and then not working other times. Not being 100% computer savvy didn\u2019t help matters either, and I bumbled along on my own until in desperation I went to the shop and bought another printer.\u00a0\u00a0This time the technician came with it and got it all going as it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This all reminded me of how life can be for us at times. When things seem to be going all wrong, it pays to go to the real expert, the technician that knows all about how things work. Yes, it may cost more than we want to pay, but at least the problems get solved . So it is in life.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0When things go wrong, it pays to go to the expert, in this case, the Maker\u2026and our maker is the God of heaven. He has all the answers written in His Handbook\u2026 in His handbook the Bible.\u00a0 Yes, we may not like to read what He says the problem is, but no amount of bumbling around on our own can fix it. We have to humble ourselves and do\u00a0 what He advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I didn\u2019t like what the man at the shop told me, but I could see that it was no use buying a new machine if it wasn\u2019t set up properly by someone who knew what they were doing, even if it cost me extra. It may cost us the price of apologising to someone, or making reparation for some wrong we have done. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Most of all, we have to recognise that the source of all our problems is SIN, and confess this to God. \u00a0The Bible also says that if we confess our sin, He will forgive us and cleanse us from all the cause of the problems we are experiencing . (1 John 1:9)<\/em> \u00a0Until we do this, the problem will never get fixed. The man who wrote the Book of Psalms, had a big problem in his life, and he cried out to God\u2026. \u201cCreate in me a new heart O God\u201d and \u201cGive me the joy of Your salvation again\u201d (Psalm 51: verses 10, 12).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In the same way I had to humble myself to admit I needed to get rid of the troublesome printer, even though I didn\u2019t like doing it. Then with the new one that had been properly set up, I was able to enjoy the work I was doing on the computer knowing that I would be able to print it out without any hold ups at the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My frustrations didn\u2019t finish with the computer, as then the printer began to play up.
