WHO TO TELL

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
~ Psalm 46:1 (KJV) ~

The 1970's well-known television comedian, FLIP WILSON, constantly boasted about a personal friend that he called "Killer."

Although this friend was never visible to anyone, Flip's devotion to him was so strong that it caused others to believe in and respect him.

Whoever or whatever caused trouble or concern, Flip quickly proclaimed that he was going to "tell Killer." This man was highly confident that Killer would come to his rescue and make his stressors behave.

In our troublesome situations, who do we turn to? Who is it that we place complete confidence in when stresses mount-up and threaten our lives? Who do we trust to tell our trials and tribulations to?

Sadly, many of our stresses are elevated when those we put our trust in betray us. In all honesty, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, and best friends don't always live up to our expectations.

Surely, that's why so many stress-survivors put absolute confidence in JESUS. We choose to "tell Jesus" all of our troubles. Having someone to tell our troubles to, someone who genuinely cares, helps to ease stress and anxieties.

The sacred Hymn from composer Elisha Albright Hoffman says it like this:

I must tell Jesus all of my trials;

I cannot bear these burdens alone;

In my distress He kindly will help me;

He ever loves and cares for His own.

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!

I cannot bear these burdens alone;

I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!

Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

We, moreso than Flip Wilson, believe that in each and every circumstance, Jesus will come to our rescue.

Peace I leave with you . . .
