Successful people are simply problem-solvers. An auto mechanic solves automobile problems. An accountant solves
financial problems. A lawyer solves legal problems. A doctor solves health problems. Jesus – He solved spiritual problems by offering forgiveness and hope that no one else could provide. He is and will always be the ultimate problem solver for all of mankind.
Often I hear pastors or individuals in churches say they desire to “lead in their community.” The simple fact is this: If a person is not solving community problems then they are not and will not be “community leaders.” It’s just that simple….
All Christians regardless of their chosen occupation or place of residence are called to be problem solvers in the lives of other people. This is what Jesus meant when He told you that “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14, 16). Light brings hope into darkness. Light brings comfort when in distress. Light brings focus to chaos. You my friend are a light and God has assigned you to the task of being someone else’s problem solver! Your life is their solution, so go solve some problems today!
