God’s Band-Aid

“He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.” Psalm 91:4 NIV

Do you remember the iconic Band-Aid song called “Stuck on You?” It features the famous lyrics: “I am stuck on Band-Aid brand, ’cause Band-Aid’s stuck on me!” Did you know the jingle was originally written in 1975 by the legendary singer-songwriter Barry Manilow. Yep, that song has been around for 50 years.

What is the job of a band-aid?  It is designed to protect minor wounds, cuts, and scrapes. It promotes faster healing by maintaining a moist environment, preventing scabs, and keeping out bacteria, dirt, and water.

God’s Band-aid is designed to not only handle minor wounds, but big gaping holes that are large and deep. His grace offering spiritual protection, forgiveness, and unconditional love. He acts as a shield against spiritual harm, granting peace to guard our hearts, and wraps us in His favor.

God gave us a wearable band-aid, that covers us from head to toe. The Whole Armor. The book of Ephesians 6:11-12 says, “put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

God’s Band-aid releases, recovers, and restores. Friends, the safest place in the world is in the will of God. Get in it and stay covered. Amen.

Remember Friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
