God Will Pay You For It
Good morning and welcome to Rich Thoughts for Breakfast.
If you’re discouraged . . . if you’re feeling blue . . . feeling sorry for yourself . . . then do something for someone else.
Dr. Karl Menninger, a leader in the field of mental health, was once asked, “What would you advise a person to do if he’s on the verge of a nervous breakdown?”
The person asking the questions expected Dr. Menninger to come out with some profound psychological insight. However, he looked his questioner straight in the eye and said:
“Lock up your house, go across the railroad tracks, find someone in need and do something to help that person.”
The thing that will help every believer in the midst of a crisis is to get their eyes off their problem . . .stop talking about it. . .stop rehearsing their hurts and pains. Instead, put your focus on doing good for someone else . . . it works because it is a totally biblical principle.
