“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
Spare parts… i’ve never given them much thought, have you? Because in the normal realm of things, unless there is an emergency or accident, spare parts aren’t needed. For example, my spare tire, it has never touched the ground, and i never think about it. Yet, if i ever have a flat, i am prepared. And at my first opportunity, it will be replaced. No one in their sensible mind wants to risk being on the road without a spare.
So now, imagine this. I am in a meeting with a medical professional regarding my kidney and the healing process. And this remark is made… “Well, at least you have a spare.” Hmmmm... I don’t know about you, but i have never considered any part of my body as a spare. I think all parts are essential, and i want to keep them… after all, you can’t just swing into a store and pick up a spare.
In this startling season of surprises, i'm reminded how Jesus relates our body parts to the parts of the body of Christ... each is needed for their own function or gift and serve a purpose. As believers, God has a purpose for each of us. When we feel overwhelmed or defeated in our life, may we be reminded God is our primary Doctor. From our broken hearts to our confused souls, no matter the damaged sustained or the chaos created, He can restore our peace and health as and when He sees fit.
Father, we want to put everything down at Your feet and trust Your healing. We ask for patience as we wait and prepare for Your perfect plan.
we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
