The healing body

The human body is impressive, and yet who really thinks about its complexities until something goes awry? It is at that point of failure that you realize how much you rely on your (insert ailing body part here) as a critical component to your overall physiology, mentality, etc. In my case, a simple bruised knee (we'll call it that until the MRI {invented by young earth creationist Dr. Damadian} reveals more), affects everything I do, even the way I rest.

Researching your injury or disease, realizing how your body is supposed to work and recognizing how your body can heal itself right down to your DNA, opens your eyes to just how fearfully and wonderfully made you are. I thank God for this. Granted, because of sin and the curse, we are all dying, some in my life doing so with a great deal of peace, even joy, despite the pain.  What a testament to how the indwelt Holy Spirit can change one's perspective, focusing on the hope we have in Him. God teaches us that in and through everything, we are to thank Him (Eph 5:20, 1 Thess 5:18). That can only be done with the right heart.

In light of all those who are suffering greatly, I realize that I am hardly qualified to write on such matters. Indeed, I've never had but a light affliction. Nevertheless, I am thankful for prayers and for Gods provision, and amazed at His crowning achievement of creation.
