When backed into a corner a person instinctively reaches out to the only people they feel they can rely on, the ultimate giver and their family, knowing that if anyone will be able to help it will surely be them. However after the fact, after they have received the help they needed, do they only give credit to the resourcefulness of their family, or do they realize that it all really came from a higher source? That all that was done for them was really orchestrated from above?
As I have mentioned last time I had been put into a bit of a predicament. So without knowing what else to do we turned to our family. Thankfully they all rallied to my cause and were able to help me put together whatever was needed to settle the matter quickly. For this we are eternally grateful to everyone who helped and went out of their way to make sure we were out of the woods.
I did not mean to imply in my earlier statement that we shouldn't show gratitude to our families for the incredible effort they put in to assist you, by all means lavish them with praise and thanks, I just wanted to point out that we shouldn't forget that all the effort in the world wouldn't have made the difference had the true giver not wanted it to be so. We simple beings tend to turn to Him more at times when we are in trouble, but when the situation is remedied, somehow we seem to forget that He had any part in it and rationalize that it was the human element that got us out of it as opposed to anything else. So next time you turn to Him and He answers (through whichever messenger He may choose) open your eyes and show Him that you realize where the help really came from.
