No problem is an orphan


It wasn’t by chance that the Lord Jesus said: "A tree is known by its fruit." (Matt. 12:33) He knew exactly what he was talking about and where He was going with it.

For starters, we see that He used logic: If this, then that. In this case, if the fruit is good, then the tree is good too. If the fruit is bad, the tree also is bad. This is logical, intelligent, and undisputable. God calls us to such intelligence. He wants us to use logic to discover the root of our problems.

For twenty plus years in my work I have counseled people with all kinds of problems. Rarely does anyone come to us knowing what the root of their problem is. Usually, people want to solve the visible problem, the one that is causing them pain at that time. They do not realize that every problem has an origin, a root. They talk about wanting to get a job, improving communication in their relationship, breaking an addiction, and so on. Except that these are all just “leaves” and “branches” of trees that have much deeper roots.

No problem is an orphan.

That person is out of a job for one or more factors. Poor communication is happening because of bigger reasons that are affecting the relationship. Addiction is only a symptom, not the disease itself.

Just as no one is born without the action of a father and a mother, no problem arises from nothing.

Logic and intelligence. God wants us to fight against our problems using these weapons.

Want to learn how to use them?
