God of All things designed within us mechanisms that allow us to withstand a great many things more than we may think we are capable of withstanding. We focus so much on the new and the latest in this world that we lose sight of the importance of the roots that are within us ready to be used. Some have been overlooked or brushed aside because they are not the latest and the greatest. But maturity shows us that coming back to center to regenerate when we have broken down is the best way to heal. This is what the body does. When there is an illness that we bear or attack on the body’s defenses it shuts down to do only what is needed and sends out alarms in the forms of heightened temperature or weakened muscular condition. This makes it clear that we will not be doing anything outside of the absolute necessary for survival. In those times our energy is weak and perhaps we are not as clear-headed but we are clear-headed (hopefully) enough to know that this moment is not one to make great decisions. It gives us a pause. The body with the help of the mind, needs time to repair. To turn to the core, become focused and regenerate and recreate. In a world that measures life by results alone this is seen as wasted time. But as the famous scripture from Ecclesiastes 3:1 states, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.” These times of repair are most necessary. They are present in all of nature and we are a part of nature. If we invite them in and allow them to do their work then we are returned to wholeness and made new again. If we fight it, we are fighting against the inevitable and going contrary to our nature which runs us down even further. My prayer for us today is that we recognize an area of our lives that may need repair and ask God for the courage to slow down long enough to allow for that repair to take place. Make it a great one!
