There is a story that I have heard several times that takes place many years ago. The story goes that a man’s car breaks down on the side of the road. He tries everything to make the car work again. No matter, what the man tried, the car simply would not start. Then another man pulled up and offered to help. The second man took a look at the engine and, after making some adjustments, told the man to try to start the car again. Sure, enough, the car worked! The man was stunned! When he asked how the stranger knew what was wrong with the car, the man replied, ” I am Henry Ford. I built the car. I know how it works.”
Friends, we too have someone that knows all about how we run! We can trust God, and we know He cares for us. He knows exactly how we work and what we need. When life brings us trouble, and we feel like our engine is running on fumes, we need to remember that we can and should always turn to the One who made us. He knows us from the inside out because He created us!
A body You have prepared for Me
Jesus was with the Father as a master craftsman when He marked out the foundations of the earth. He rejoiced in all His inhabited world, but His delight was with the sons of men. (Proverbs 8:22-31) So when the time was right, Jesus was given a body on earth, as the Son of Man. In that body, all the will of God would be done, and none of the will of the body.
“a body you have prepared for Me … to do Your will, O God.” (Hebrews 10:5-7)
