I wish I had a Rolex watch because it’s simply the best. For decades they have been the premier watch in all the world. The Swiss have always been excellent watchmakers. For some reason, it had been in their gene pool for centuries. A Rolex watch symbolizes all that is of the highest quality.
If I did have a Rolex, and something happened to it that needed repair, I would be foolish to take it to any watchmaker. I would want to take it back to Rolex, the ones who crafted it and perfected it in the first place. They would know how best to fix it so the time would once again be accurate, and I could once again trust my watch to fulfill that area in my life it was meant to fulfill.
I wish I had a Mercedes Benz sports car because it’s simply the best. For decades they have been the premier vehicle in all the world. The Germans have always been excellent at making high quality vehicles. Foe some reason, it has been in their gene pool for centuries. A Mercedes symbolizes all that is of the highest quality.
If I did have a Mercedes, and something happened to it that needed repair, I would be foolish to take it to any auto repair place. I would want to take it to a certified Mercedes mechanic, the ones who crafted it and perfected it in the first place. They would know how best to fix it so the engine would once again run smoothly, and I could once again trust my car to fulfill that area in my life it was meant to fulfill.
If I was going to travel the countryside in a motor home year long, I would want a Winnebago. Manufactured just 35 minutes from where I live, they are simply the best in the world. I have been through their factory, and have watch the care and precision that goes into each vehicle. The best of everything.
If my Winnebago broke down, I would not want to take it for repair to just anyone. I would want to find out where the nearest Winnebago certified technician was located and get it to them. They would best know exactly what was needed to fix the problem and get me on my merry way.
I am much more valuable than a Rolex. The working mechanism within my body is much more intricate, and it has to last me for 70, 80, 90 or even 100 years. Mt DNA is woven together in such a way that makes me, me. My circulatory and respiratory systems are a science wonder, and my eye is a marvelous instrument that no scientist can match.
I am of much higher quality than a Mercedes. The materials that made me might be the equivalent of dirt in this world, but they are all fashioned and framed to make a completely individual person. There is no one like me in all the world. I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
My ability to take in all that is around me is much more than a Winnebago’s ability to travel everywhere. My eyes, ears, mouth and nose see, hear, taste and smell all the uniqueness that this world has to offer. These senses teach me what I like and dislike. They guide me through this world every day, leading me to the good thing in life, and keeping me from danger.
When I had cancer, I chose to go to the best place in the nation for my type of cancer. The University of Iowa, just 3 hours away, was just that. They had the best long range remission rates of anyone in the nation. I wanted to be healed, not just treated. I wanted the cancer gone, not just in remission. And that is what I received.
When my life seems to be going the wrong direction, or when I get depressed or discouraged why do I go to someone else who may have the same problem? Why not go to the creator? After all, I would do that for my watch, or car, or motor home. How silly of me to think my own life should be any different! Am I too proud to seek out the one who knit me together in my mother’s womb? Am I scared because I don’t think He could possibly love me?
Throughout my battle with cancer, He was always with me because I trusted Him. He led me through any discouragement or disappointment, and He strengthened me when I was weak. My creator was always there, and He always will be near my side. He knows everything about me. He knows everywhere I go. He always wants what is best for me. No matter what I go through, He will work it for my good.
The Bible says that He made all things. His name is Jesus, and He not only does all these things for you, but He also died in your place. He became the sacrifice for all your wrong doings. He can fix whatever is wrong in your life today if you just put your faith in Him. Just like we take our most valuable possessions to the one who made them when they need to be repaired, so also can we go to Him when we need repairs.
