Lord my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me.
Psalm 30:2 (NKJV)
Thought for Today: Frank awoke once again to the annoying sound, "drip, drip, drip." For weeks now, somewhere in his house there was a leak. He was not sure where it was coming from, but several times a day he would hear that dreadful dripping sound and then, mysteriously, it would stop as quickly as it started. Being the more practical one, Frank's wife Stella had suggested that they need the services of a plumber. Frank, being stubborn, would not hear of it. He told Stella that he would find the problem and fix it himself, thus saving them the cost of hiring a plumber. Unfortunately, the very next day the sound that Frank awoke to was a roar and not a drip. Had he not been home to shut off the water at the main, the damage would have been much worse. Now the source of the leak had been exposed and could be fixed, along with a lot of water damage.
Our human nature is to not ask for help and to try to do things ourselves. Unfortunately, this approach so often doesn't work and causes damage to us and to those around us. Just like the water in Frank's house left a trail of destruction in its wake, so too can an unhealed heart leave a trail of brokenness.
Is there some area of your life today that needs healing? Are you afraid to ask the Lord for help due to your own pride or fear? Let go of your pride, let go of your fear and ask Him to heal you. Surely Jehovah Rophi, our God who heals, will reach out His hand to you and bring healing. My prayer is that this day you will trust Him and let Him into the deepest places of your heart to bring healing and peace.
