OK on a more serious note today, I was doing some research on Hanson's Disease (leprosy)...Found some startling facts...The US, currently has 13 documented cases of leprosy on our soil, thanks to modern medicine and access to that health care our infection level is very low.
Researching 3rd world countries - I found that India with a population of 1.3 billion people has 4.5 million documented cases of Hanson's Disease. I've seen these people with my own eyes several times, no fingers or toes many missing limbs. Its alarming.
Psalm 92:1-3 - It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by the ten string harp and the melody of the lyre.
In America we have many 6 string guitars, 5 string bases, cello's, violin's, banjo's - but none are 10 string. David is talking about a 10 string instrument that we all have - our fingers! We can clap, serve, work, etc...
The lepers in India do not have that privilege, but still rejoice. My challenge today for myself is to worship God with my everything.
Musician, laborer, friend, would you still worship the LORD if you lost your hands?
Worship God in the midst of your storm, your disease, your pain - God will show His glory in the midst of the downpour. Turn your sorrows in to joy.
