Not Our Problem

I talked to my brother Bob, who is a retired farmer, farm equipment salesman and mechanic. He runs his own business repairing, restoring, buying, fixing and reselling old farm equipment. He’d been in a hard time as well. He explained how he’d been complaining to the Lord. God asked him, “Do you trust Me?” Bob answered, “Yes.” God repeated the question, “Do you trust Me?” My brother again answered, “Yes Lord, I trust You”. Then the Lord asked him again, “Do you trust Me?” Bob, frustrated, answered with some conviction, ” Yes! I trust You!” Then, God simply asked him, “Then, what’s your problem?” It didn’t register with me for a couple of weeks. But, after Spud took out that snake, I knew, that with all the stuff happening, our problem isn’t really “OUR PROBLEM!”
