Psalms 105-106, 1 Corinthians 3 • Key Verse: Psalm 105:4

Your newspaper probably includes a daily advice column, or perhaps two or three. There are the old standbys of Ann Landers and Dear Abby, along with others, some local, some syndicated. Need advice on your car? Listen to Car Talk on National Public Radio.

For home decorating, a slew of television and radio programs is available, along with Web sites that include video clips on specific topics of interest. Self-help books abound, some capitalizing on our frustrations and feelings of ignorance, as seen in titles like HTML 4 Dummies.

So many voices, so many solutions. And we haven’t even mentioned self-help groups, support groups, networks, workshops, seminars and infomercials. Where do you start?

Always start at the same place—and it is not the library, the bookstore, the talk show, the newspaper or the neighbor. “Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always” (105:4).
As the psalmist continues, he reminds, us of some of Gods great works. “Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced” (v. 5). In particular he tells of how the Lord worked in bringing the people of Israel out of Egypt.

They were “few in number,” he writes, but they left Egypt “laden with silver and gold” (v. 37). God kept His word. He protected and provided for His people. And He gave them the land He promised them. Praise the Lord!

Some of today’s advisors may have good advice, but start every day, every endeavor, by looking to the Lord, to His strength, seeking His face.

“God, help me to put You at the top of the list of my advisors. May I always start with You when looking for the help and strength I need. ”
