No Health Reform in God's Medical Center...

If you've ever sat in an emergency room, and watched the eyes... of those entering the "room of horrors"... via the whisssshhhh of the sliding glass doors.. You can see the fear... of what’s to come.. Of what has occurred.. the lack of control... the tears in the eyes of a child... or the anxiety of a parent... a slow moving aging woman clutching tightly to the arm of a man whose loved her for 60 years... it takes ur mind off of ur own pain... for even a second...

It’s a haven of sorts for the hurting... a place u run to in times of desperation... the dreaded phone call... late nights... the sound of constant dripping.. And the never-ending steady beep that is more annoying than a Smash mouth song... but is a reminder that one is breathing...

Most of us are lucky.. that hospitals and emt's are minutes away... waiting for us to fall... crash... break... and though we hate going... to see a doctor... it is the first thing we do the instant a tragedy occurs... we call 4 help...

Spiritually, we seem to do the same... we live our life... with little thot of spiritual things.. But when a tragedy or illness set in, we instantly dial up the "Healer"... we pray... we ask for help... we enter God's waiting room... the "room of horrors" because again.. We lack control... and take our eyes off of us and place them on something bigger than ourselves... we realize how weak we are.. In these times.. Our youth fades.. We age.. We gray.. But God's emergency room.. Is always seconds (a prayer) away...

we work out at the gym, play sports, stay active, work hard... our physical body may be in great shape... but inside... our heart and mind... are desperately in need of healing... we haven’t taken the time to exercise our mind and hearts spiritually.. We are out of shape... a health reform bill signed on the hill may mandate that all people shall pay for insurance...but God's health service is free... our insurance is also free and is our faith in Him.. His clinic is always open... and there is no line.. No monetary fees.. The great Physician is readily available and waiting with open arms..

Psalm 103:3-4
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion...

Enter God's medical center... there are no hidden agendas... his health plan is designed solely for you... He loves you... He wants you... He is our greatest hope... the Great Physician.. And the only Orator whose voice can calm the broken...

Failure is a Gift

I sat in the room, nervous. I had sensed this moment coming all week. Though I felt a small comfort and peace, deep inside, I was terrified. I was bracing for the letdown—far from my first. I made small talk with someone twenty years my junior, knowing that soon, he would ask me to step down. That reality was hard to face. My mind drifted back to my first year as a deputy. I had called my father repeatedly, distressed over my fifth write-up. Each time, he told me to thank them for the discipline, not to quit, and to keep my head up. But I was overcome with sorrow. I felt like a failure. Maybe I could earn straight A’s, but I had no common sense. I feared I would never catch on. I was beginning to give up. Still, my dad insisted I keep going. In my first week alone, I had discharged my weapon—firing over sixteen rounds at a bull on Super Bowl Sunday. Not long after, I found myself in a full-blown foot pursuit of an escapee, my face, mostly pride battered from the struggle. My track...

My Weapon is a Melody

Every day can be a battle. A battle for our hearts, a battle for our minds, a battle to discourage, a battle to get out of bed, a battle to be content in whatever state we are in, a battle to bless God even in the darkest times. Satan seeks to crush and destroy us. When we are so focused on our own pain and battles, we are less useful. Think of a nice shiny car, but with a broken hose. This small hose can cause the entire car to be out of commission. This too is how Satan works in our life. He may sit back and watch us break with the smallest hose. That is all he needs to put us out of service. Many of us have been out of service for quite some time. This is because we have so focused on goals or things that may be outside our purpose. How do we fight battles in our life and overcome them? What should our only purpose be? Praise and worshiping God. That is it. God is constantly seeking out people who just want to worship Him. We constantly ask for blessings in our life, but how many ...

Heart Attack

Valentine’s Day is approaching. It’s easy to love those who are kind to us, but what about those who are cruel? How do we love a bully? It takes a conscious effort to show kindness to someone who has deeply hurt us. But when we learn to love even those who have wronged us—without waiting for an apology—we are truly attacking the heart . This kind of love isn’t normal. It’s outrageous. It means wiping the slate clean, deleting the post , starting over—not for ourselves, but to please God. That’s it. We know that God has forgiven our wickedness, so why can’t we forgive others? This is a love that brings true reward. We often think we practice this kind of love, but do we really? The next time someone enters a room—the very person you’d rather avoid—what will you do? What if God led you to walk up to them and bless them? Would you do it for Jesus? The Cost of Heartache We demand payment for heartaches. We take people to court, punish, divorce, fight, and even kill over them. This has been...
