Set Me Free: Devotions From Time of Grace Ministry

DAY 3 OF 31

SET ME FREE FROM PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS: I'M INJURED In 1866, the year after the Civil War ended, one half of the budget of the state of Mississippi was used to purchase artificial limbs for returning veterans who had suffered battlefield amputations. Children can also suffer injuries that steal their freedom of movement. "Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was lame in both feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan (i.e., their deaths) came from Jezreel. His nurse picked him up and fled, but as she hurried to leave, he fell and became crippled. His name was Mephibosheth" (2 Samuel 4:4). Do you know someone who is the prisoner of a major injury? car crash? workplace accident? One of God's temporary liberating strategies is to use a disaster to bond people together. We all grow when we help and are helped. Another is his gift of the growing science of prosthetics. What a thrill it is to see how people with artificial legs can dance and even run. Best of all is the total restoration that God promises in heaven. Isaiah chapter 35 promises that in heaven the lame will leap like deer. I can't wait.
