Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Have you ever had surgery?
Good surgeons work with great precision. They use a scalpel to remove things from the human body; cancer, tonsils and other things that may need to come out for various reasons. They know that the life of the person they’re operating on is in their hands.
God is also a surgeon. His scalpel is the Word.
His word is used to surgically remove the things in our lives that don’t belong or don’t need to be there.
Sometimes surgery can be painful. It hurts for a while after the surgery, but then we heal and the pain goes away.
God is the ultimate surgeon, knowing exactly what we need, even when we don’t know it. What’s even better is that God never, ever makes mistakes. If God performs surgery, we should never question Him! There is no risk of malpractice with God!
Is there anything in your life today that God want’s to surgically remove? Do you have sin in your life that you just can’t seem to conquer? How about a sickness or disease? Is there worry or strife?
God can fix any and all of these. But we have to give Him permission.
Get into God’s word and let Him use it to cut out those things in our lives that aren’t good for us. It might hurt a little at first. It might even hurt a lot. But we will be so much better off for it in the long run.
And God is the ultimate healer, too, so once the surgery has been performed, He knows exactly how to makes us like new again.
God’s operating room is open. Step right in!
