Is There a Doctor in the House?

Recently I read the following rather sobering assessment: "Data published in 2020 by the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that the U.S. could see a shortage of 54,100 to 139,000 physicians by 2033. That shortfall is expected to span both primary- and specialty-care fields."

After reading this, I found myself nodding my head in agreement. I was NOT surprised. I am guessing you are not either. For all of us who need to see a doctor, whether it be our primary care physician or a specialist, we are growing more accustomed to being scheduled days, weeks, or even months out! So yes. We could certainly use more doctors (as well as nurses, imaging techs, pharmacists, etc.). Good bodily health demands it! 

There is much better news when it comes to the health of our souls. In this case, we have only one doctor. He is the only one we need. Our Great Physician, Jesus Christ,
is on call 24/7/365. His capacity for patients is unlimited. His wisdom to diagnosis our need is infinite. His bedside manner unmatched. So no matter your heart need, you can go to Christ and find his loving care. Depressed? He is the light of the world. Broken hearted? He is the one whose heart was broken for us. No matter our need, he, our gentle and lowly shepherd, will take us in his arms and comfort, heal, encourage and strengthen us. Hallelujah, what a Savior! 

Thanks for stopping by . . .
