MAN IN THE PIT Once upon a time a man fell into a pit and try as he did, he could not get out. He cried for help but none came. A counselor came along and said, I feel your pain. A college professor came along and said, It’s logical that someone would fall down there. A politician pledged to appoint a committee to work on how to help people out of pits. A Pharisee walked by and said, Only bad people fall into a pit. A news reporter promised the exclusive story on the plight of those who fall into pits. An tax collector asked if he was paying taxes on the pit. A TV evangelist said, Just confess that you’re not in a pit. An optimist said, Things could be worse. A pessimist said, Things will get worse. A psychiatrist passed by and asked how often do you fall into the pits?? A good friend passed by and told him Tuko Pamoja But then Jesus came by, and seeing the man, took him by the hand and lifted him out of the pit. LESSON Dear friend, If you live long enough, you will find yourself at the bottom. The bottom may fall out for you financially, or emotionally, or spiritually, but it will come. Everybody spends time at the bottom. The important thing to know is how to bounce back from the bottom. Jonah showed us how to do this: by looking up in prayer, by turning to God, by trusting the Lord to save you. Do you need help getting out of your pit today? When trouble grinds your life to a halt, when you become desperate to figure out what to do, suddenly you find time to pray. When you get sick or hurt and you don’t know when you’ll get better, you’ll find time to pray. When the devil whispers that you’ve gone too far, that you have no hope, that you might as well give up and get it over with, then it’s time to look up in prayer to God. When you hit the bottom it’s not time to wallow in self-pity, It’s not time to dig in your heels and harden your heart. Its a time to ask crucial questions in a bid to bounce back; Where am I? How did I get here? What’s my next move?
