THE EVERYDAY COUNSELOR BY DR. HERBERT SPAUGH We find in life that which we seek. Jesus said, “Seek and ye shan find.” Experience proves it. It depends upon our attitude of mind and our altitude of expectation. I recall this couplet from my college speaking class, “Two men looked out from behind the bars: One saw the mud the other saw the stars.” We are fed so much of the negative by the news media today that it calls for real effort to take an honest look at what’s good in life. A correspondent writes a good letter which gives me a lift. I want to share some of it with you. “I read your column The Everyday Counselor in the Charlotte News and I want to tell you how much I ap preciate it. So much news is depressing. Everything in the world seems so hopeless. It is refreshing to read a positive column that gives hope and encouragement today. “Please put my husband and me on your prayer list. We have been living on a fixed income. There are times when we wonder how we will manage to survive. My husband has an arrested disease. Please pray that he will be completely healed. “If I or my husband is living a life which is not pleasing to God, please pray that we may seek God’s will for us. We are church members and strive to live a Christian life, yet we cannot seem to be able to have the very reedful things in life. I pray, but nothing seems to happen. Yet I still try to have faith in God that he will prosper and bless us.” This couple is feeling the crunch, felt by many today, who are living on fixed in dome. They don’t have the answer, but God does. I believe that. Jesus said, “Seek ,ye first the kingdom of God, ‘and his righteousness; and all ;t&tee (material) things shall jt>e added unto you.” David 'echoed the same thought in •the 37th Psalm where he ; wrote, “I have been young, >8nd now I am old; yet have I loot seen the righteous for ;saken, nor his seed begging JBread.” > It is my conviction and {experience that they which ; yield their lives completely to ; the Lord, trust Him and follow His direction in faith, will {receive what they need. That {was the experience of my ither who was a successful itian businessman who ‘lived out a full life in his own ibome. • He was a dedicated tither. I >.- . — devote a chapter to him in my biography, “The Boy, The Man, The Bishop.” This has been my personal experience in every area of living. God will provide us for the financial needs for what we need or adjust our lives to what we have.
