Circulation and Faith in Action

The S-MARCH-E algorithm gives a valuable approach for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care. The purpose is to delay death and preserve life.
There are a lot of spiritual implications with the preservation of life.

Circulation is of vital importance to proper bodily function. This is how air and nutrients are delivered to every cell. If blood does not circulate then cell death begins relatively quickly. The name of the game is maintaining blood flow. This may have to be done manually with chest compressions, however under some circumstances the patients heart may be trying to beat erratically and produce an effective pump. Otherwise known as an arrhythmia. Some arrhythmias can be corrected with the use of an AED. This is why they are so important for use in a CPR situation.

On the spiritual side of things. Circulation can be comparable to our faith in action. Our actions demonstrate the faith in us.

James 1 : 22

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
‭‭

James 2 : 14-26

“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.”
‭‭

Proverbs 3 : 27

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.”
‭‭

Galatians 6 : 7-10

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
