Scars will eventually return as big problems. In severe cases, they can lead to disasters, wars, and even mental illnesses. Moreover, Satan uses deceptions to make people suffer from their scars to the very end. For that reason, God emphasizes that people discard their scars and instead, receive the blessing of “re-creation.” How can you receive that blessing?

1. Have a Holy Convocation
The works of fundamental healing and “re-creation” are possible only through the power of the Word. If you don’t experience this, you’ll have no choice but to live according to your incomplete thoughts and abilities. Every day, you must confirm and become imprinted with Christ and the miracles that God performed during the forty years on the wilderness path. These were the reasons why God had instructed the Israelites to have a holy convocation.

2. Give a Sacrificial Offering
You must give sacrificial offerings to God and obtain atonement. In other words, you must receive spiritual healing from what God has given. By receiving healing, you’ll be able to confess thanksgiving every day. In doing so, worship and prayer become the most valuable essentials in your life. This is the life that God wants you to live the most.

Satan will plow into your scars and continue to cause division; however, there’s no need to worry. Whenever you become seized by your scars; by yourself; or even your past, you can pray to enjoy Immanuel. In the end, God will give the answer of everything working together to achieve good.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may my today be like the day when the Israelites enjoyed the blessing of “re-creation” in the wilderness. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. What Will You Relay?

In 1871, there was a young man who worked at Montreal General Hospital. This young man later founded the famous Johns Hopkins Medical School in the United States and was even knighted by Great Britain’s royal family. By the time of his death, he had left over 1,500 pages to fill two autobiographies. He was none other than William Osler(1849~1919).
William’s success began when by chance, he read an excerpt of an article. William who was a medical student at the time, was deeply troubled with worries and anxieties about his future. But one day, he read the phrase, “Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” Afterward, William placed those words in his heart and began to put them into practice.
William who became a public figure gave a famous speech at the graduation ceremony at Yale University.
“The future is today - there is no tomorrow! The day of a man’s salvation is now.” William experienced those words himself and relayed them to his underclassmen.
Like Dr. William Osler, why don’t you live your today like his and relay the words that you enjoy to the next generation?
