A Drop of Blood

Blood is an interesting thing.  It only takes a tiny bit to seem like a whole bunch, especially when we are looking at our own blood.

Being a Labor & Delivery nurse, I happen to work in a pretty bloody business.  We are always on the watch for visitors and family members to possible pass out.  Occasionally this will happen when we are drawing admission lab work on our patients, even though we are only taking about 1/2 ounce of blood.  That small amount (that's small in our line of work) is enough to make the biggest man hit the floor sometimes.

Just a drop of blood can color a whole container of fluid or stain a cloth.  It is powerful stuff.  Especially when it has flowed from the veins of the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

"But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;  From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.  For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified," (Hebrews 10:12-14.)

We should never forget the sacrifice that the Lord made for the redemption of our sins.  


The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power
by Andrea Crouch

The blood that Jesus shed for me,
way back on Calvary;
the blood that gives me strength
from day to day,
it will never lose its power.

Chorus:
It reaches to the highest mountain,
it flows to the lowest valley;
the blood that gives me strength
from day to day,
it will never lose its power.

It soothes my doubts and calms my fears,
and it dries all my tears;
the blood that gives me strength
from day to day,
it will never lose its power.

It reaches to the highest mountain,
it flows to the lowest valley;
the blood that gives me strength
from day to day,
it will never lose its power.
