If It Ain’t Broke, God Won’t Fix It
A common saying in our culture is, If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Meaning basically, If it’s still tolerably functional, leave it alone. Many people live their lives that way as well. Their motto is, “My life is functioning just fine, so I don’t need ‘fixing’ – I don’t have any problems right now that need outside help.” What they don’t realize is, “IF IT AIN’T BROKE, GOD WON’T FIX IT!” In other words, until you admit you’ve got a problem, God won’t help you with that problem! It’s kind of like this “RECALL NOTICE” … People can become broken by many things … sometimes other people break us, sometimes our circumstances break us, sometimes even God breaks us, but most of the time WE BREAK OURSELVES. Our stubborn insistence of doing things our own way is our own worst enemy! THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT, NO MATTER HOW YOU GOT BROKEN, GOD IS WILLING TO FIX YOU, IF YOU’LL CRY TO HIM FOR HELP! God is attracted to brokenness.
