Where Labels Won't Work


While a monster label, a sleek design and a slender silhouette may be an advantage in the battle for success, it does not help much when facing problems on a larger scale. 

Large problems, whether they be personal, natural or supernatural need the existence and help of something or someone greater than the problem being faced. 

Fortunately for us, that help does exist and is accessible.  It is only a prayer away.

Here is a story of a jailer who found this to be true: 

" ... And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 34And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house." From the Bible, The Book of Acts, Chapter 16
