Problems

The Peanuts Cartoon Strip has Linus talking to Charlie Brown. Linus says, “I don’t like to face problems head on. I think the best way to solve problems is avoid them. This is a distinct philosophy of mine. No problem is so big or so complicated that it cannot be run away from!”

The philosophy belonged to Linus but holds absolutely no water in the test tube of life. Problems are interwoven into everyone’s life and only get bigger when not attended to.

However, there is a resource that can help tremendously.

Matthew 11:28-30

 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Advice from the funny papers is not the foundation to build on, but the Bible is.

Give it some thought.
