Sometimes the BIG needs to be put into perspective, and when it is, it’s not so big anymore. If we’re not careful, the things we emphasize and esteem can become a snare to us if not properly measured.
Take healing for example. It’s a big deal, important and worth emphasis. But size it up to The Almighty and it’s just one more small piece of His infinite goodness, and really not as BIG a deal as we sometimes make it.
Healing, like all other blessings, can become just another idol if they get too big in our estimation. This is why in 2 Kings 18:4 it is written,
“He removed the high places, broke the images, cut down the Asherim, and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until then the Israelites had burned incense to it; but he called it Nehushtan [a bronze trifle].”
The object that signified the healing power of God. The bronze serpent on the pole; what had it become? A bronze trifle, and it had to be destroyed. The people began to worship healing rather than the healer.
Just make sure it’s Jesus that’s the BIG deal in your life, nothing else…Just Him!
