What are These Invisible Ropes?
I never knew I was so afraid of
darkness until power goes out. One day I had reached home much earlier than
usual from work, and as usual, I went straight to the kitchen and started
cleaning up dishes as well as tidying my house. I was now preparing to make
supper when suddenly the lights went out. Guess what I did? I literally ran out
of the house like a mad woman. (Sometimes when I think about this, I start
laughing)
Fortunately power was back, and
my husband was also home. I explained to him what had just occurred and he was
perplexed. Again such a situation happened but this time round we were together
in the house. He was in the living room and I was in the bathroom. I literally
ran to the sitting room where he and I was panting heavily! He asked me,
“Brenda, why are you afraid of the dark?” I told him, “I don’t know. It’s just
that I hate darkness. I actually fear something will attack me”
It’s amazing that something like FEAR can tie many and even hinder them
from accomplishing their God given purpose. Many of us are afraid of others,
we, situations etc and we allow fear to live and even rule us. This rope called
fear is an obstacle to success and sadly cannot produce any good fruit no
matter how hard we cultivate it.
I got this image from a fear
site:
My question at this point is why
are we often so afraid? Well think about it, who is the perpetrator of fear? The
devil. His ultimate desire is to steal, kill and destroy. But good news is
Jesus Christ came that we may have life and life in abundance.
With Jesus Christ, the rope of fear
is cut and faith begins to take over. Get encouraged today and overcome all your
fears through the power of the cross in Calvary. Listen to what Psalm 27:1
says,
The LORD is my light and
my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of
whom shall I be afraid?
Are there other invisible
ropes?
We shall look at that in
our next piece. Hope you are encouraged so far by these two pieces. Let me know
what you think of them as well.
God bless you
