Ecclesiastes 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
In our day, the Christian is facing an increasing array of options as it pertains to the issue of surgery. Some of the options are good and approved of God, others, not so much. There are many cases where surgical procedures are warranted, in order to save life, and to reconstruct a damaged body part after an accident. There are hip, and knee replacements for persons who struggle on issues of the bones, and joints.
And there are heart surgeries, where lives have been definitely saved by invasive procedures, and God approves of these. But like with every good thing God has given to us, surgery can, and is in many cases, being abused and manipulated to suit the whims and fancy of persons without the good purposes God originally intended, and we who live in the 21st century should have a very clear understanding of God’s will on the issue.
Knowing what is on the menu, and the grim effects unwarranted surgeries are having on persons would shed light on the valid reasons why the issue has to now be addressed. Persons are opting for elective surgical procedures, for no other reason than some celebrity or influencer on Tik Tok had the procedure. The Clavicular syndrome is driving some youth to do things they never would have dared to do, were it not for the phenomena of influencers who fuel the desire to enhance outward appearance.
1st Samuel 16:But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
