These devotions are targeted specifically for you, the healthcare professional, and the challenges unique to you that you face on a day-to-day basis. We hope you are encouraged and inspired by them, and that you can gain insight and wisdom from others who have gone through the same challenges that you face in the healthcare industry today.
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" (James 1:5, KJV).
Defining Mission
Wherever we find ourselves on this side of glory, whatever our circumstances, if we seek the Lord with our whole heart, His mission thread will weave its way to the surface and accomplish that which He has planned.
The Consequence of Small Changes
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2, NIV).
Crying at Weddings
I don’t often cry at weddings, but I did at this one. Her first husband had been my physician friend and patient before he died. He had lived a difficult life and traveled a difficult road to heaven, but he loved deeply the One who had died for him.
Finding Truth
“It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees” (Psalm 119:71, NIV).
Bedpans
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:5-8, ESV).
Shortcuts
“But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights” (Galatians 4:4-5, NET).
A Good Day
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34, ESV).
Your Worst Fear
“But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the rule of the synagogue, ‘Do not fear, only believe’” (Mark 5:36, ESV).
