‘Acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace.’
Job 22:21 NKJV
Within a matter of seconds, Vicky’s life was shattered. A trapeze artist, she lost control of the fly bar and landed head-first in the net. She broke her neck between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae and became paralysed with quadriplegia. Three years after the accident, she had fallen into deep despair and self-pity, and was determined to take her life. She survived a suicide attempt and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for care. On the fourth anniversary of her fall, she and her husband separated, and bitterness set in.
One day, a home-health aide was assigned to help Vicky. Her name was Mae Lynne, a strong Christian who introduced Vicky to Jesus Christ and the Bible. Vicky began to learn how to stand firm in her faith and walk in obedience to God. In addition, a pastor faithfully taught her God’s Word for two years. Then Vicky began a ministry of encouragement by writing letters each week to prison inmates and others with disabilities. The more joy she brought to them, the more she experienced herself. She jokes, ‘Quadriplegics aren’t supposed to have this much joy, are they?’
Vicky still uses a wheelchair, becomes dizzy at times, and has occasional respiratory problems. But she has a deep inner peace and strength because of her relationship with Jesus. And you can have it too. Job said: ‘Acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace; thereby good will come to you. Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up’ (Job 22:21-23 NKJV).
BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Samuel 7-9, John 10:1-21
