Beat Again

Bible in a Year:

• Job 5–7
• Acts 8:1–25

March on, my soul; be strong!

Judges 5:21

In 2012, Phillips, Craig and Dean released their song “Tell Your Heart to Beat Again.” It was inspired by the true story of a heart surgeon. After removing a patient’s heart to repair it, the surgeon returned it to the chest and began gently massaging it back to life. But the heart wouldn’t restart. More intense measures followed, but the heart still wouldn’t beat. Finally, the surgeon knelt next to the unconscious patient and spoke to her: “Miss Johnson,” he said, “this is your surgeon. The operation went perfectly. Your heart has been repaired. Now tell your heart to beat again.” Her heart began to beat.

The idea that we could tell our physical heart to do something might seem strange, but it has spiritual parallels. “Why, my soul, are you downcast?” the psalmist says to himself. “Put your hope in God” (Psalm 42:5). “Return to your rest, my soul,” says another, “for the Lord has been good to you” (116:7). After beating Israel’s enemies in war, Deborah, a judge, revealed that she too had spoken to her heart during battle. “March on, my soul,” she told it, “be strong!” (Judges 5:21), because the Lord had promised victory (4:6–7).

Our capable Surgeon has mended our heart (Psalm 103:3). So when fear, depression, or condemnation come, perhaps we too should address our souls and say: March on! Be strong! Feeble heart, beat again.

By:  Sheridan Voysey Reflect & Pray

What was your first response to the surgeon’s words to the patient? What words from Scripture do you need to speak to your soul today?

Master Physician, thank You for being with me in every trial and battle. Because of Your promised presence, I will direct my soul to act bravely.

Good evening ML ((HUGS))
Look at you...FIRST

[luvie]

Guess I’d better be fast to say howdy then, Early Bird. Howdy! 😁

[beachn4fun]

Good evening Mayor ((HUGS))
Thank you for keeping us in the GOOD WORD.

AND WOW! Tell your heart to beat again. Thanks for sharing that.

[luvie]

Pretty background! Hope you’ve had a good week!

Good evening night owl ((HUGS))

I totally forgot you changed your handle.

Yeah, had a busy day (yard work) and I'm tired.

[left that other site]

And I went out tonight...and just got in.

Had a beautiful motorcycle ride and a nice BLT and a beer with my brother and his wife.

Then I rode home again.

[beachn4fun]

Sounds like a lovely day

[mountainlion]

Nice day today. More planes in the sky so air traffic is up, people are running around. Got some rain. Life is good.

Calm before the storm?

[beachn4fun]

I need to change your name in my ping list.

Week has been good.

Hope yours has been the same.

[left that other site]

It was! The restaurants are starting to open up. It is so nice to eat out again.

In For The Count

Good evening, mountainlion

Was a nice day. We did yard work, so I'm tired. Getting rain right now.

[PROCON]

Yo Beachie, thanks for tonight's Canteen.

Real hot here, just staying in with the A/C.

Tomorrow it becomes mandatory in Washington state to wear a mask in public, non-compliance results in a misdemeanor charge, $1000 fine and/or 90 days in jail. Businesses are mandated to turn away non-compliant customers.

Local LEO's say they will not enforce this unconstitutional mandate.

About to get interesting.

[beachn4fun]

I’m having a girls lunch with one daughter-in-law and a friend on Sunday. We’re going to (fingers crossed) sitting outside a seafood restaurant.

[luvie]

You don’t have to change it. I still get pings from LUV W. I guess it’s my legacy name. I didn’t lose my stats either. Jim is good like that. :)

Yes, its been a good week here. We had some very much needed rain. WoooHooo!

[luvie]

Oooo...thanks. I figured I was too late for bling. :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, beachy, and thank you for today's Just Hangin' Café.
