My Religious First Aid Kit

Do you have a first aid kit in your home? car? at work? Most people have, at least. some band aides or antiseptic ointment close by for emergencies. And that is a good thing. It shows a real understanding that there is definitely a possibility of something going wrong. You see, life isn't always peaches and cream. But, you also need to know how to use the items in your first aide kit or they are of no value to you whatsoever. A lot of people have a spiritual first aide kit where they keep God. They are confident that most days everything is going to be just fine. But, there are also going to be those days when tragedy strikes and they need help. Like the band aide, they want Jesus to stay tucked away out of sight in a cabinet somewhere. But, when they need Him, they expect Him to come to the rescue and bail them out of the situation, that they most likely got them selves into. A situation, that had they consulted God's Word for guidance, they probably would not have gotten into in the first place. The Psalmist David said "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path". Psa 119:105 Rest assured, God will always be there for you, but, He would much rather be there with you. After all, He knows what He has planned for you and what He wants to accomplish in you. It is OK to have a "spiritual first aide kit", just don't put the Great Physician in it.
