Caregivers deal with all sorts of health issues and one such is a decube or also known as a decubitus ulcer. This is the result of a patient resting on a bony area of the body and not being turned frequently or pressure to an area of the body such as the lower spine, hips, heels, etc. What occurs is the site becomes red and tender. It soon begins to break down and the skin opens up and a small hole is formed. It can progress to more severe stages thus causing infection in the wound and drainage. Untreated it can enlarge to great size. These wounds heal from the inside out only. Many require wound packing with anitbiotic or special treatments daily and cleansing the area and mositure.
I liken this to the wounds that attack our soul. We may get hurt or wounded by the pressure of others, or painful experiences. We may fall down and get scrapped in our walk with God. Unattended these wounds become enlarged and become infected with other bacteria and infection that destroys the tissue. It begins to cause the skin to die. Often the wound has to be scraped of its infection to start healing. So we may go through times that we feel cuts away the old man and brings renewed life to our body.
In the spiritual sense, uncared for, it causes us to die and loose our perspective in God. Un-nursed or cared for, we become sicker and could die.
Letting the painful experiences go unattended will destroy you. With the decube, fast intervention is necessary and it often takes long periods of recovery and often there is a scar to remind you of the wound when it heals.
So it is in life and in our walk with God, we may become wounded and scarred, but intervention in the Holy Ghost will help heal the wound. Leaning on a spiritual saint of God during tough times and asking God for help will bring the balm of Gilead to your soul.
Healing starts in the heart from the inside out just like a natural physcial wound heals from the inside out. The natural body sends its defenses to rush in and start a process with cells that fight for us. So prayer goes to work for our soul and God intervenes for us with prayer warriors in the night that don't even know us and do battle for us.
If you are going through difficult spiritual times, remember that God sees deep into the heart, deep into the wound and He feels our pain and sufferring.
He only a as close as the mention of His name. There is nothing God cannot do. There is nothing worth losing out over. Tend to the wounds and stay ready for His coming. Don't be deceived in these last days.
Do you have a wound that needs healing so you can go to the next level in God? Psalms 147:3 says, "He health the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds."
