Rattle Bones
by PamFord Davis No, I do not plan to expose any skeletons in your closet but I do want to rattle bones. Health experts have revealed the importance of building strong bones. After taking bone density scans, physicians have diagnosed my condition as osteoporosis. I take that information seriously. Proverbs has pertinent health information "The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and a good report makes the bones healthy (Proverbs 15:30 NKJ)." That gives me something to ponder. The Proverbs writer links good news with healthy bones. "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones (Proverbs 16:24 NKJ)." Am I contributing to the building of healthy bones in lives of those I know? Are my words pleasant? No, not always. "A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones (Proverbs 17:22 NKJ)." Publishers are not likely to print Proverbs wisdom literature in medical journals. I trust the Great Physician; He fashioned my frame in my mother's womb. "For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You (Psalm 139:13-15a NKJ)."
