God's Court!
Always, before assessing the pros and cones and making calculations, we should seek the Will of God. The reason for many failures are the reluctance to seek the Will of God. First, we should go to the court of God. If we trust His court, we could avoid many cases filed in the earthly courts. It is when we try to be gods that we journey through the roads of power and fight. There we try to win and defeat others.
"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" – Hebrews 13:6.

As the child entered his neighbor’s house, he found all of them very unhappy and gloomy. He thought that something unpleasant had happened to them. As he arrived home, he asked his mother; ‘Mother, why are they so gloomy?’ ‘Because the local court has judged against them and so they failed the case.’ Mother replied.
‘So what will they do?’ the child inquired curiously. ‘They can appeal in the district court for a favorable decision,’ said the Mother.
‘Suppose that decision too is against them?’ the child could not control his eagerness. ‘They will go to the High Court.’
‘And then, if it is also against?’ ‘They can approach the Supreme Court.’
‘If they could not find justice in the Supreme court, what should they do?’
Mother was a little perplexed but replied with much insight. ‘If the Supreme court’s decision is not favoring them, they can find consolation only in God’s court.’
The child asked; ‘Then why shouldn’t they go straight to God’s court than going through these lower courts?’

How true it is with us! We turn to God when we are against the walls. As we find it is fruitless to depend on power, money, hard work, knowledge and influence, we turn to God as the last means to escape. But this should not be the way of the children of God. We should first and foremost seek God’s help.
Like Job, the suffering man of the Old Testament, we should be able to say, ‘It is God who imparts justice for me.’ The Lord is our true helper. Real help comes from God who has created the heaven and earth. Therefore we should first seek God’s help in our adversities. Hence we could avoid much unnecessary troubles in our life.
“Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.” – Psalm 54:4.
Blessed Day!
