In the first "Crocodile Dundee" movie (I don't remember the exact name) Mick Dundie's girl friend is attempting to explain to him how people handle their problems in America. She is explaining that people often go see a therapist.
Mick has never heard of a therapist and asks what that is.
She explains that a therapist is someone you go to discuss your problems.
She then asks who they go to in the outback of Australia to discuss their problems.
Mick responds, "our mates." "Mates" meant friends.
Most people have some "mates" they can take their problems to or they have family members they can talk with. But let's imagine that we don't have either. What then?
In I Samuel 30:6 the scripture says of David, "Moreover David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God."
Focus on the last sentence of that paragraph; "But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God." David had no where to turn and in a moment of great need, David strengthened himself in the Lord.
What does that mean? It means reminding ourselves that God loves us, God is with us and being strong in the Lord.
There is nothing wrong with seeing a therapist and everyone needs "mates" and family they can talk to. However, every day, we can do what David did.
Today, "strengthen yourself in the Lord." Know that the Lord loves you and is with you.
