Are You Solving The Problem or Are You The Problem?

Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand
continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom. (I Kings 10:8)

My friend, did you know that your ability to solve problems in life is the key to your legacy? Every friendship is formed because of the problem it solves. Problems are the only reason people stay friends. When mates cease to solve problems for each other, they become a problem to each other. Many of us are familiar with the names of Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, and John Wayne Gacy. They are remembered by millions because of the problems they created. You will be remembered by someone.

You may be remembered as a problem. You may be remembered as a problem solver. Goliath is remembered as The Problem. David is remembered as The Solution. Haman is remembered for the problem he created, the conspiracy against the Jews. While Esther is remembered as the queen who saved the Jews. She was a Problem-Solver.

Are you solving problems or are you the problem?

My friend, problems are opportunities to reveal your distinction from others. Joseph is remembered because he solved the problem of provision during famine. Ruth is remembered for solving the problems of Naomi. Daniel is remembered for solving the problem of the unexplained dream. Absalom is remembered for creating problems with his rebellion to David. Remember: you will only be remembered in life for two things - the problems you solve or the ones you create.

What do you want to be remembered for?

Some allow themselves to become a problem rather than a solution, causing them to miss golden opportunities for prosperity to come into their lives. Others want to solve problems but have lingered around the problem so long that they ultimately mimic it!

Start becoming a problem-solver and
watch how you soar to the top!
