Once
upon a time, for Christmas, God gave me crutches. My legs weren’t broken…yet.
So, I didn’t really appreciate the significance of this gift. But God knew what
was coming, and He knew I wouldn’t have time to find the right crutches during
my brokenness.
These
crutches appeared in the form of two friends. They supported me through a
period of affliction. When I couldn’t bear my own weight, they held me up and
kept me from falling. As soon as I could walk on my own, they moved away to be
God-appointed crutches to other broken people.
Sometimes
God appoints us to show up in a person’s life for a limited period of time—just
before a crisis. The God-of-Angel-Armies deputizes us as temporary angels to
carry out His purpose. We become channels of His Grace. Our role is to pray,
support, and bolster those who are broken, while God heals them.
“He
ordered his angels
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they’ll catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.” (Ps. 91:11-13 MSG)
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they’ll catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.” (Ps. 91:11-13 MSG)
