Your Choice
After a few days of noticing a fly trapped between a
screen and window (without food, water, or whatever else
bugs need), since he hadn't died, I decided to open the
window to let it go free. Only, the fly refused to fly away,
preferring starvation and imprisonment. And not only that
but, another fly joined him! Misery likes company? I don't
know.
But then, I thought, "God, is that where we are right now,
as a people; the door has been opened but we're still
sitting in bondage?" Maybe. Only, soon after came the
message that one of us didn't survive. An old friend became
ill and committed suicide, as a result, and he was a
believer!
The question, then, came to mind, "What, on earth, are we
believing in? What happened to the God of miracles? Do we
think He is dead!?"
Maybe he was told that miracles were only for the early
church, as if God loved them more. Or, maybe, he received
the updated version that God can heal, if He wants to, as if
we've finally given Him permission. Or, he could have bought
into the theory that there are some people God loves more.
Are you buying this?
This I know, for sure. If you are not free, it isn't the
truth. Whatever holds you in bondage is not true. Whatever
keeps you from your rightful place with God isn't true.
Whatever stands between you and your calling, it isn't true.
Just maybe it has to get bad enough before we're willing to
seek truth at all cost.
Being free begins with acknowledging who is the all seeing,
all knowing, all loving God and choosing Him over all that
is not.
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for
me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
Choose Freedom!
