God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went
about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Some of us are limping along. We have holes in our lives that we try to ignore. We need to face
our problems and get them fixed.
Jesus is waiting for you to turn them over to him.
(Acts 10.38
NRSV)
We ought to learn a lesson from the Goodyear blimp Columbia. The giant 192-foot-long helium
blimp was once punctured by a small radio-controlled model airplane. The damage was too
slight to cause the blimp to crash, but the hole in the blimp was big enough to cause a constant
loss of helium. Hence, the blimp couldn't function the way it was supposed to and could only
limp along until the hole was repaired.
God of hope, there are a lot of things in my life I need to turn over to Jesus. Help me to let go of
them. Amen.
