Unaware that his patient arrived in his office, a famous surgeon was caught reading a book intensely while waiting for an important patient. Curious. The patient asked his doctor what book he was reading. Was it a new medical journal? Was it a new scientific finding? No. “It is a Bible.”, he exclaimed. His patient asked, “Will your Bible help you before my operation or after?” His reply. “During.” Philippians 4:13 (New King James Version) says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” The surgeon knew that his skill and intellect are nothing without God’s power and favor. He understands that only God has the power to guide him while he does surgery on the operating table. Imagine him splicing and cutting with his hands while his mind talks to God. He remembers the words of the Bible about being a vessel of blessing and being anointed to help people get better. Listen, you may not be a surgeon, a lawyer, or a CEO of a multi-million dollar corporation. You are an ordinary citizen with no title or prestige. But…not having these does not disqualify you from doing great things for God. You can do everything through the power of God. Receive strength from God Himself and do the things that glorify His name. Read more of God’s word so you will be equipped to face life head on. Lastly, meditate on what the Bible says just like how the surgeon did.
