Whether you want to admit it or not, everyone has 3 things in common with Humpty Dumpty. First, at some point in time, you’ll find yourself living on the edge, trying to hang on or stay in control. Second, you will experience a great fall, either physically, spiritually or both. Finally, you’ll discover what it means to be helpless, needing someone else to put you back together.
In Psalm 31:12, King David compares himself to a piece of broken pottery, shattered into pieces. The apostle Paul found himself in a similar predicament, using a jar of clay to illustrate the emotions he endured, 2 Corinthians 4:7-9. C.S. Lewis referred to life as a car in Mere Christianity, trying to run on something other than petroleum, eventually breaking down since individuals didn’t follow the directions left behind by God. Before you get well, you must acknowledge that you can’t do it on your own, in need of a Savior to stitch you back together, John 3:16-17.
Behind childhood fairy tales like Humpty Dumpty lie painful truths. Solomon highlights this in Ecclesiastes 4:10 as friends are designed to pick us up when we fall. Without somebody to turn to, pity reigns on these poor souls. Therefore, if you’re hanging by a thread, lying in pain and waiting to be helped up, cry out to Jesus and He will put you back together, Luke 23:42-43.
