“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:13

THANK GOD I know a guy! It’s tax time again. And one more time, as happens EVERY year, I’m a little freaked out. Having NEVER been a numbers guy, and with my elderly ability to grasp complex matters waning, I grabbed all the info I had on hand, balled it up and took it to my savior… my guy… the one I am blessed to have met many years ago. Handing him my stuff, his smile says, “Cute!”

Everything in life has some form of measure to it. Height, weight, income, expenses, kids and even time. As the clock ticks, I sense I am running out of it in more ways than one. Thinking I am doing ok by looking around at my stuff, I count it up and it looks pretty good. Until I realize ANOTHER entity is looking at my life… and THEY have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT measuring system than me.

Lots of things have been happening in my world. Things that make me feel kind of paranoid. Health, family, Church, society, politics and finance ALL leave me wondering if I’m living in the plus or minus column of life. To make matters even more sticky, each one affects the other! So much so, that a domino effect can topple the whole mess because of 1 error. Enter my GUY!

For taxes I have a guy who makes me feel special. In the face of the dragon, he doesn’t run. He tells me to remain calm and give him the info and he will face the dragon on my behalf. Because he is a GREAT dragon slayer, but more so because he is a friend I can trust, I don’t worry. I just do what he says. He has never failed me. In the game of life and death, I have another guy.

I met Jesus when I was 12 years old. Though 12 doesn’t seem to be an age where things can go so wrong, I realized I was in BIG trouble when it came to my sin and getting into Heaven. When my Savior introduced Himself as such, I did not hesitate to make Him my Guy for LIFE! And He has NEVER let me down! And though I know I have given Him reason to be disappointed, He never is!

How do YOU add up in the accounting and accountability problem? DO YOU have a guy you can trust? Do you give Him all your stuff? Because Jesus is standing by with a twinkle in His eye.
