1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
2. We often think we can do things alone, but we’ve all run into things we just can’t handle by ourselves. We need someone to help, an expert, someone with more experience than we have. When it comes to spiritual things, there is really only one who can help us, though.
3. Scripture
   1. John 15:26-27
   2. Jesus: I will send a great Helper to you from the Father, one known as the Spirit of truth. He comes from the Father and will point to the truth as it concerns Me.  But you will also point others to the truth about My identity, because you have journeyed with Me since this all began.
4. Devotional
   1. My grandson is an up and coming engineer.
      1. At about four or five built catapults out of paper, duct tape and rubber bands
      2. Bows and arrows
      3. At six built the titanic out of legos
      4. When it came to a tree house he needed help
      5. Asked for help, “Papaw, can you build a treehouse for me?”
      6. “Can you build an elevator to the treehouse for me?”
      7. Got a little over his head although he likes to work with wood and hammers and nails
   2. Cute story about grandkids, but we run into the same problem
      1. Sometimes our pride gets in the way, though
         1. Finances
         2. Health
         3. Relationships
      2. Sometimes we let ourselves get in terrible straits before we seek help
      3. Sometimes by the time we let the professionals in we’ve made such a mess, it seems it will be impossible to get out
   3. When it comes to spiritual things, there’s a better answer
      1. We can never fix what’s wrong
      2. We can’t be good enough
      3. We can’t pay enough
      4. There’s nothing we can do to make things right
      5. We’re sinners, every one of us
   4. There is a solution
      1. The cross
      2. Jesus died so we can live
      3. Then promised the comforter, His spirit, to come and be with us and in us
      4. The question, will we stop and listen to Him when He gently calls
      5. Will we pay attention when He says stay out of that place or go to that one
      6. Will we stop talking or texting when He tells us to?
   5. He’s the expert, He’ll answer our questions.
   6. I wasn’t the expert at building a treehouse. It will come down one day. In fact, I’ll tear it down in a few years to make sure no one gets hurt on it. But God’s spirit in us will never let us down.
5. If you want to learn more about my church, you can find us at SAF.church. If you like the devotional, share it with someone. If you don’t, tell me. I hope you’ll join me again tomorrow for “A Little Walk with God.”
