On spirititual knees


Over the last 20 years or so i have had a persistent knee problem, which has now resulted in what's called an Oestochondrial Defect put simply a bit of the joint has worn away and a small piece of cartilage is floating around the knee joint. This is now causing my knee to lock into place causing excruciating pain!!!

The piece of cartilage is incredibly small but is temporarily totally debilitating.

Every part of me screams with pain and I cannot move forward until it has moved!

Why do I tell you all this...simply for sympathy!!
But it did get me thinking about the body of Christ.

You see in the Body the smallest problem can cause the whole body to come to a stand still, and quite often God will not allow the church to move on until the issue has been resolved.
He loves each and everyone of us so much that he would not allow pain or sorrow or trouble to be unresolved in the body.

How cool is it that we have a God who loves us this much!!
Just think about your job... does you boss stop everything because you are having problems.....highly unlikely he just wants his business to run and doesn't particularly care about your troubles.
But God is much bigger and has much more responsibility but will stop everything just for you.

Awesome!
