Sometimes a person could be attempting to sew a garment from several cut pieces of fabric and drops her needle. When the needle is in the sewing machine it can't fall out of someone's hand. Thank God for the progress of machines that make sewing a quicker and more productive endeavor.
The stability of the individual is linked to what kind of posession of relationships in families and in communities and in churches. God has ordained and continues to bless with stability, those who put their trust in Him and live in the light of their sins having been laid upon our Savior.
When my soul is anchored in the Lord, it is attached to His Body the Church. He is working out His purposes in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself.
No one individual is so totally necessary that it cannot be replaced. God proposes and disposes as He sees fit.
The stability of mind and soul is not one person's task. We are fitly joined together in the Body of Christ and members one of another. God has many sewing machine churches, ie. restoring the souls of the afflicted, developing the continuance of the Gospel's expression on the earth; doing His will on the earth and the corporate Body of Christ is helped and blessed.
Learning to become and stay attached to Christ in His Church is my meditation today.
