They use a scalpel to remove things from the human body; cancer, tonsils and other things that may need to come out for various reasons.\u00a0They know that the life of the person they&#8217;re operating on is in their hands.<\/p>\n<p>God is also a surgeon.\u00a0His scalpel is the Word.<\/p>\n<p>His word is used to surgically remove the things in our lives that don&#8217;t belong or don&#8217;t need to be there.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes surgery can be painful. It hurts for a while after the surgery, but then we heal and the pain goes away.<\/p>\n<p>God is the ultimate surgeon, knowing exactly what we need, even when <i>we <\/i>don&#8217;t know it. What&#8217;s even better is that God never, ever makes mistakes. If God performs surgery, we should never question Him! There is no risk of malpractice with God!<\/p>\n<p>Is there anything in your life today that God want&#8217;s to surgically remove? Do you have sin in your life that you just can&#8217;t seem to conquer? How about a sickness or disease? Is there worry or strife?<\/p>\n<p>God can fix any and all of these. But we have to give Him permission.<\/p>\n<p>Get into God&#8217;s word and let Him use it to cut out those things in our lives that aren&#8217;t good for us. It might hurt a little at first. It might even hurt a lot.\u00a0But we will be so much better off for it in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>And God is the ultimate healer, too, so once the surgery has been performed, He knows exactly how to makes us like new again.<\/p>\n<p>God&#8217;s operating room is open.
