(Sundaycast) Braces For Our Soul (Psalm 109:30; Luke 13:13) (Sanctification)

We all know that when teeth sometimes need to be straightened. When they do, we get a special dentist to help us. That person is called an ortho-dontist. The word “ortho” comes from the Greek language and it means straight. This word is used to describe what happened to the woman in the Luke text for today. She was a bent over but when Jesus healed her, she “orthoed” up. She straightened up. We have been learning in the words from the “Daily Texts” that God’s word is meant to straighten us out. God’s word becomes the braces for our soul. What gets straightened out is our self-pity. What gets straightened out is our self-righteousness. God uses the words of His mouth to change our mouth speech from pity to praise. So how is it going with the braces that our Lord is using to help you get free? To help you live in praise and thanksgiving each day?
