The picture here is that every child of God has a warehouse of comfort, rescue, strength, wisdom, direction, and protection. But because of the pride and self-sufficiency that sin produces in us, we don’t open the door of that warehouse; we live self-reliant lives, trusting that we can make it through on our own. So as an act of redeeming love, God leads us into situations that cause us to be confronted with our weakness so that we’ll open the door to the lavish resources of help that are in his warehouse of grace.
