       We all have problems that we face on a daily basis, those problems which come to us out of nowhere. Generally, when we have an issue, there is the tendency to try to find the solution. We may pick up our Bibles and flip through the pages hoping that some verse will pop out at us. We might pick up a self-help book or two off of our bookshelf and try to find the answer. Or, perhaps, we’ll even through up a prayer to God, hoping that he will bring some aid or some person to us that will help us. It’s by these methods that we generally try to solve our problems. Yet, there are times when we don’t even have to go this far. What I mean is that often we already know the answer to our problem inside of ourselves. It’s just that, often times we don’t think that we do. We think we aren’t smart enough. We forget that we have the image of God within ourselves, that we were created as good and capable beings. Why does the answer to our problem always have to be outside of ourselves? Why can’t it be that we already know the answer, but that it is just not in the forefront of our thinking?
