Angels in Scrubs

 Angels in Scrubs 

Its 5a.m.

You’re waking up to what seems like just another day. On the way to work, you pray to the Lord Almighty that it will be an easy shift. As worship music fills your car, you take one last moment to yourself before the chaos begins.

You finish morning vitals.

Breakfast trays are passed. And then suddenly, it feels like every call light is going off at once. 

What do we do in these moments? 

Do we panic? Do we stress out? 

NO.

We take a deep breath… and we walk straight into the loin’s den.

I mean Daniel didn’t volunteer for the loin’ den.

He was thrown into it because he refused to stop serving God.

Healthcare workers don’t  volunteer chaos either— but every shift feels like stepping into it.

The alarm.

The confusion.

The family members crying.

The patients who are afraid.

The weight of responsibility.

Yet jut like Daniel, we don’t walk in alone.

“My God hath sent his ANGEL, and hath shut the loin’s  mouths…”

Daniel 6:22 KJV

God didn’t remove Daniel from the den. 

He met him in it. Just like he meets us when we trust him.

And sometimes God doesn’t remove us from the hard shifts.

He strengthens us inside them.

Now to all my fellow sisters and brothers in Christ—especially my healthcare workers…”

“Angels don’t always have wings… sometimes they wear Scrubs.”
