Tearing – Healing
Tearing – Healing
“Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.” Hosea 6:1
Sickness, crisis, and tragedy do not challenge the sovereignty of God. Sometimes we forget this.
When we face a job layoff, a child in crisis, or a diagnosis of cancer, it is all-too easy to forget that God is still madly in love with you and he is still on the throne.
When crisis comes, God does not disappear. Quite to the contrary—God uses crisis as an invitation to call you back into greater intimacy with him.
Every time you face sickness, crisis, and tragedy, they are invitations to return to the Lord. God wants to meet you in the middle of your crisis today, even before he solves your crisis.
Loving Father, I welcome you into my crisis now in Jesus name. You have allowed my life to be torn; now I ask you to heal me.
