Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses, And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!
 
Have you ever thought that we are sort of like Humpty Dumpty? We sit on the wall doing everything our own way! God gives us His directions on keeping us from falling. But we tend to choose our own directions.
 
The Ten Commandments
  1. You shall have no other Gods but me.
  2. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it.
  3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
  4. You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy.
  5. Respect your father and mother.
  6. You must not kill.
  7. You must not commit adultery.
  8. You must not steal.
  9. You must not give false evidence against your neighbour.
  10. You must not be envious of your neighbor's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor.
 
After we have fallen and our lives are a broken mess, we begin to look around to our family, our friends, our community, our pastor, our church, our doctors, our psychologists, our government to put us back together again!
 
We believe that all these people can help us to sit back atop that wall. Their love, their money, their comfort, their counseling, their support, their medical prescriptions, their appointments, their programs can help us, but they only go so far. They are only 'King's horses and King's men!'
 
God is the only One Who can truly put us Humpty Dumptys together again. We need to acknowledge Him, His directions, His best plans, His love! He can take all of the pieces of our Humpty eggs and put them back together again!
 
He turns us rotten eggs into beautiful new eggs! Something that not only He loves and cares for, but something we have never been in the past without Him in our lives! We can begin to enjoy the new Humptys we have become and are becoming! All because of Him!
