After you read today’s Daily Treat, please LISTEN TO MY PODCAST.   After the Message, I give MY COMMENTARY & A PRAYER REFLECTION on today’s Message. I think you will enjoy it.                                            

While I was sitting in my parked car on the street one day, a young woman in the car ahead came over and asked me if I had a hammer that she could borrow. When I said no, she got one from the man in the car in front of hers.

She then proceeded to smash out the vent pane on the side of her car. After returning the hammer, she opened her door, took out the keys and waved them at us with a triumphant grin.

As she drove away, the fellow who lent her the hammer came over to me and said, ”If only she had told me what she wanted the hammer for, I think I could have helped her. I am a locksmith.”

Oh, the brokenness we bring into our lives when we try to do it all ourselves, without help from others or from God. How we forget that we have a fallen human nature and we need others and we need God in our lives.

Thanks to Eric S. Ritz for sharing this story.

I find at I am often like the woman and use a hammer rather than asking someone for help. When were YOU like the woman using a hammer instead of asking for help from others and from God?

JESUS DIDN’T COME TO TELL US THE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS OF LIFE. JESUS CAME TO BE THE ANSWER!

Be sure to LISTEN TO MY PODCAST  with my Commentary and Prayer which is found at the beginning.
