One day John Wesley was walking with a man who was very upset. The man wasn’t even sure of the goodness of God. He said, “I don’t know what I’m going to do about all these worries and troubles.” At that moment Wesley saw a cow standing in a pasture looking over a stone wall.
“Do you know why that cow is looking over that wall?” asked Wesley.
“No,” replied the man.
“The cow is looking over the wall because she cannot see through it,” said Wesley. “That is what you must do with your wall of trouble. You cannot see through it, so you must look over it and above it.”
Faith helps us to look over and above our troubles to God who is our Helper.
