Have you ever experienced something like this? You have been busy and concentrated on a path that has led you to a place where you are just stuck and trapped. No matter what you try to do you can’t shake it and you are just searching for a way to avoid the hit. Maybe you are a skilled survivor and have found ways to maneuver around the hit but this time it’s different, there is no way out! And so we think!
Getting to a place where our hearts are revealed so we may see why we are trapped allows God to remind us of His works (Psalm 77:11). We check ourselves before we wreck ourselves with the blind fact that we are fearful creatures! We all have them... That's right! Are you bold enough to admit it? Call it out...write it down... tell somebody. Or does that just make you more anxious!? If I am exposed and tell other people my fears, "they're all gonna laugh at me!" - Billy Madison.
What if that is the only place in which freedom comes and you are released to live? (1 John 1:7). What if facing the brutal facts of what you are fearful of is the only way out of the box? More importantly... if you swerve around the deep rooted issue this time, masking the real stuff, will it just come back to nibble you to death later?
Fear traps us into a belief system of hopelessness and lies. It produces in us a method of surviving instead of thriving! Surviving is not what God intended for His children. Even at the cross, Jesus endured for the sake of joy (Heb 12:3)!
Stop a moment to think about what has trapped you in your box. I mean what do you have to lose anyway... your life???
Check us out this Sunday!
