Picked Clean

When walking on the beach at SanibelIsland, I came upon something I’d never seen before…a perfectly formed skeleton of a fish.Nearly every bone was intact, from the head down the backbone, including the ribs. The tail was still attached, also. However, there was little flesh on the bones. Birds and scavengers had picked it clean. One seagull, however, was pulling one of the few remnants of meat still attached.

Have you ever felt as if you have been "picked clean"? Have circumstances and people pulled on your life until you feel dried up, brittle and bare- exposed as the fish skeleton I saw? When you feel this way, at the end of your rope just remember that God will put a safety net of His protection around you. It may be in the form of another Christian to intercede in prayer for you, or one to call you with an encouraging word or to take time to be a good listener. God may wrap you in His love by giving you a glimpse of unexpected beauty of a heartfelt laugh. He might just grant a reprieve from your oppressive circumstances.

We should be thankful that we, as God’s children, can be put back together again. Unlike the fish I saw that was picked clean, we NEVER are. No one can take God away from us.
