A small factory had to cease operations when a vital piece of machinery broke down. The firm’s own mechanics couldn’t get a thing working again so an outside expert was called in. He looked the situation over for a couple of minutes and then took a hammer and tapped the machine in a certain spot and it started running beautifully. When he submitted a bill for $100.00 the plant owner figuratively hit the ceiling and demanded an itemized bill, which subsequently was forthcoming as follows: $1.00 for hitting machine; $99.00 for knowing where to hit.

Have you learned that God uses His Word to “hit” us where we need fixing? Is something not working right this week in your life? Is the ministry machine that you are trying to manage malfunctioning? Spend some time in God’s Word and let him get things fixed.
