"[King of Assyria,] nothing can heal you; your wound is fatal. All who hear the news about you clap their hands at your fall, for who has not felt your endless cruelty?" - Nahum 3:19
So, I was at a ChikFilA drive thru. I have a coupon for a kid's meal and ask if I can use it. They say what they always say, "No problem!" So I look at the menu and order grilled (instead of fried) chicken nuggets with a fruit cup (instead of waffle fries), a cone (instead of a toy), and diet lemonade (instead of soda). They say what they always say, "No problem!"
So, I get my food, and I'm driving away and look in my bag. I have fried (instead of grilled) chicken nuggets with waffle fries (instead of a fruit cup), a toy (in addition to a cone), and, I think, my diet lemonade (but who knows cause it tasted mighty sweet). So, at least half my order was wrong, but I chuckled and said to God what ChikFilA always says to everyone else, "No problem!"
Friends, it's a work day. Things are going to go wrong today (like they do everyday). In reply to what goes wrong, we have some choices. We can get all bent out of shape about the problem. Or we can recognize, as in today's Bible verse from Nahum 3:19, that all sources of evil are doomed to defeat by the Sovereign God through Jesus Christ, so being victorious over the problem, we can say to the problem, "No problem!"
But we can also do more. Let's keep envisioning and praying for a world where all people know that every problem to God is "No problem" at all so that people can't help but worship and praise him!!!
Happy work day!
Praise God!!!
