A Permanent Fix

Psalm 9:9-10--- The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

In our lives, problems, adversities, and challenges often seem never to end. But, in many cases, we can adjust to and work around our troubles. We can even get a cure for what ails us in our life. We could even get a prescription for what ails everyone in the world. What would change if the world's problems suddenly went away, would there be no more war? Would there be no more poverty, or would poverty reappear? Would there be no more pain, or would pain come again? Would there be no more darkness, or would night come again? But, tragically, even if we solved all of the world's problems. Today, tomorrow, the old reasons for the present problems would begin eating away at us, and all the issues would return. The old issues would return because what the world does not need is a quick fix to problems. What the world needs is a permanent fix for our hearts and souls from the hand of God delivering His healing Light, the hand of God seeking to touch us with His Love. This hand of God, this hand full of so much love, did come to us, but we nailed this hand to the cross in the most tragic crime we have ever committed.
