NOTE: This devo was written several years ago, but is still appropriate today - the flu bug's been here and gone....and it may not have hit you YET....but there are many sufferings and trials that Christians, beloved of God, still go through--far worse than a flu bug. This is for all of us - to be reminded that whatever you - or I - go through at the moment, Jesus is still Lord.......Take that, devil, and scoot - we are God's property; you are not wanted here!
This week's devotional is a BUGGY one, for the bug has hit the Bohanon home bigtime! I cannot transmit it via a Web page, so you are safe. Come on in, bring a lot of TLC--and some chicken soup, and I'll be able to FLUently write this devo. Now you KNOW when I can still be sick and make puns like that, I'm on the mend! Antibiotics--and a call to Dr. Jesus sure help! We can be assured that Jesus Christ DOES heal our bodies, whether by His miraculous touch, or through the skillful hands and medicine of a physician!
If you've not had the famous flu yet, cheer up--it may be just around the corner! The kids are passing it around at school, the congregations are shaking hands and passing it around at church, and it's travelin' through the families and workplaces in its usual, unpleasant way. We're all coughed under, stuffed up, sneezed out--and done in, unless we take it in good stride and humor, knowing "this too shall pass!"
Now we all know a "buggy body" is no fun, but there are things a lot worse than sick, run-down, worn-out bodies. Do a spiritual inventory and you'll find spiritual aches and pains which no pill will reach! So why not bring along your blanket, your juice, your chicken soup....and your BIBLE, 'cause Dr. Jesus is waiting at the well to help and heal us all!
So what's WORSE than the "bug"?? Read the complete devotional at Words from the Well. Now fix a little chicken soup, drink a lot of juice, add to that a lot of prayer, and a little chocolate, and you'll have a much better day today!!
PRAYER: "Lord, I need You today. Thou Great Physician, heal me--spirit, soul, mind, and body, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
