Take the scab off by
One of our favourite hobbies was pulling off scabs before the injury was fully healed. The resulting blood, pain and longer healing time were uncomfortable. But an unhappy mother was by far the most painful!
As an adult I have learnt that there is pain in injury, but there is also pain in healing. Often the pain is much longer and more enduring. Being impatient when working through healing, pealing off the scab too early, results in the healing pain being extended.
I wonder whether our lives in Christ are similar? The pain of injury is short term, but the lingering pain of healing is often far more arduous.
What’s the alternative? To wait, to follow His instructions, and let the pain of inner healing take its time... His time! Wait on God! He heals you’re willing to trust Him.
“For I’m going to do a brand new thing. See, I have already begun! Don’t you see it? I will make a road through the wilderness of the world for my people to go home, and create rivers for them in the desert!” Isaiah 43:19
TODAY, accept God’s complete healing… in His time!

Being active farm boys,
my brother and I regularly had injuries to various body parts. This meant
that scabs and scars were a part of every day living.
