Stepping Stones: “…all the king’s horses and all the king’s men...”

Transformational Tip
Humpty Dumpty was one of my favorite nursery rhythms. You remember that one…he falls off the wall and no one…not even all the king’s resources can put him back together again.
But what about the King of Kings? Today’s scripture tells us how a great crowd of people were brought to Jesus to be healed…and he healed them! Jesus is still in the business of healing broken lives. He can and will put “all the pieces back together again.” Who do you know that needs Christ’s healing touch?
Today, bring them to Jesus through prayer the power of prayer. Or explain to them how He has put your pieces back together again…explaining to them the reason for the hope and peace that you have and enjoy. Click here to share with the stepping stone community your thoughts on Jesus’ power to repair broken lives.

Prayer
Oh My King,
I thank You Father for the healing power of Your son Jesus Christ. I know he has the power to repair my broken life…and the lives of all those who come before him in belief. Help me Lord to bring those who are broken to You. Help me, Father, to always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks me…to give the reason for the hope that I have in You. I pray in the name of the great healer, Jesus Christ, and all God’s children said, – AMEN!

The Truth
Crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them. The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.
Matthew 15:30-31
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
1 Peter 3:15
