A Hurting Word...
Peggie's REAL Place was the "fix-it factory" this week, for sure! A son with a goose-egg bump and a black eye. A sliding glass door with a B-B shot hole and a bloomin' mess! A new Power Mac (praise the Lord!) and all its accompanying hardware and software--complete with bugaboos everywhere! So what to do? Screammm--then calm down, and call the doctor, the glass man, the computer man--the LORD, and eventually, it's all fixed and all better...so we hope!Now computer software is wonderful, but as you know, it's also pretty wild and wacky, just like the WWW! And mine was no exception! I had several options--I could try to fix it myself....you're kidding! I could trash it as a totally lost cause...a lovely thought! Or with great saintly patience and endurance, I could calmly reinstall it. Sure! Of course, if I came completely unglued, I could always call the Fix-It-Man and let HIM do it....Well, *I* tried and ...suffice it to say that he and his support van now know the road to my home on automatic pilot! I'm tired, he's tired, my family's tired, and even the poor Power Mac is tired, I do believe!
Life is like that...we have choices of what to do when it breaks down, and if you will drag your bandaged, hurting self slowly to the well, as I limp alongside you, we'll find out who the REAL Fix-It Man is! I TOLD my friends a devotional was probably hiding somewhere in this messed-up week--and there sure was! God knows how to take whatever happens to us, and turn it around to bless someone else--and I think He's about to do that RIGHT now!
A Helping Word...or Two!Enter the Fix-It man...or woman, depending on your gender, for you KNOW it's you--the high-control hero of life personified, of course! Self says, "I'll fix it...I've got it all under control. No big deal." For a while, you handle it well-you take your broken body to the doctor, your broken heart to the counsellor...and then, one day you discover, "Oh, no! It's not working"--and you take your broken spirit--and wallet--to the dumps! Of course, there's wonderful help available physically, mentally, emotionally, provided by caring, proficient professionals. But you see, no human, however competent, you included, can really totally fix anything. Depressing? Not really....hang on!Exit the Fix-It person--and call the Fix-It MAN! Give the God-Man, Christ Jesus, the broken-down things of your life, and He will repair them perfectly--body, mind, soul, and spirit. He's the creator of the original product, and He knows how to fix it well. Let Him!
Enter Mister Fix-It...satan supreme...so he thinks...for he's highly disguised as an alluring angel of light. He'll make sin so attractive to you, so harmless and sweet--but know that he's out to trash your life, with no thoughts of re-cycling! Just a throw-away person who plays his games for a while, just before they turn into nightmares! For his toys are fun, unique, and attractive, but they lead straight to the pit of hell, the trash can of eternity! Depressing? Not really...hang on!Enter your Fix-It Friend! He'll retrieve your soul from the horrors of hell, and bring you to the heights of glory. Why? Because He loves you, He made you, and He has wonderful plans for your life, which do not include the trash cans of this world. He's the creator of the original product, and He knows how to save it well. Let Him!
You've tried, the devil's tried, and now all of heaven doesn't even NEED to try! The Trinity, with delight, turns to your rescue! Let the devil take notice, let the world watch, as a loving Savior, directed by a loving Father, sends a loving Holy Spirit to comfort, strengthen, and renew you. You're transformed into a living testimony of His restoring power and purpose. What you couldn't fix, what the devil tried to trash, is now fully recovered by a Redeemer, and you are whole!Enter His support station now! Bring the broken pieces to the Great Fixer-of-Human-Hearts. He'll remake you into a vessel of honor. He'll restore to you a sense of worth and purpose. For He's the creator of the original product, and He knows how to fix it well. Let Him!
His Healing Words"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord (Luke 4:18,19).""...if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Oorinthians a5:17 KJV)."
