Against All Odds

Surgical Precision

Text: Heb 4:12

   For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

   Becoming a surgeon can take up to sixteen years. The medical training they receive helps them to understand the human body and proper procedures for preforming the intricate task of removing or repairing abnormalities. With the invention of the da Vinci Surgical System, a robotic machine used by surgeons to perform less invasive procedures, it has help patents recover quicker and with less pain.

When faced with surgery there is a few things we must consider. First, we must ask ourselves do we want to proceed with the operation. Second, it is important to find the proper surgeon for the procedure. Last, and most important, do we trust the one who will operate on us. When we agree to these questions, then the operation can begin, and the problem resolved.

As God’s children, we face many situations that affect our lives and influence those around us. It can be sin, lack of faith, decisions, or a host of other things. When confronted with these conditions, are we willing to allow the Holy Spirit to preform the operation necessary to remove the problem? He made us and understands man better than any doctor. He knows exactly where the problem lies. He has the only surgical device that can dispose of the problem and lead us to a speedy recovery. The Holy Spirit is the surgeon. The word is His instrument. And don’t forget, we have the best recover team at our side, Jesus. So, trust your surgeon, (Jesus) and allow him to help you through your situation and a quicker recovery.

With God Nothing is Impossible

 

   Hermann and Pauline lived in the German village of Ulm where they produced featherbeds in a struggling economy. To complicate matters, their son Al seemed to have developmental issues. Unlike most children his age, he didn't start speaking until almost three. During his early school years he wanted to spend most of his time alone entertaining himself with puzzles, building houses of cards, and endless hours with a simple compass. 

His teachers where troubled with the time he took to answer questions. One day a teacher informed them that Al was hopeless. She said, "It doesn't matter what he does, he will never amount to anything." Hermann and Pauline had nothing to worry about. Their son became one of the greatest minds of the world. You know him as Albert Einstine.

How many times has the enemy attacked by saying you are worthless? When you fail, he is quick to remind you of it and publish it abroad. His constant bombardment of negative innuendos tear apart the fiber of who you are in Christ. The world may tell you will never amount to anything, but remember, you are on the winning side.

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
