On The Fence

Why do I walk the fence with one foot in God’s world and one foot in my world? When will I learn? I need to get off the fence and stay in God’s world.

I’m not good at decisions. On the fence there is too much gray area. Reality is, black or white, right or wrong. None of this “it’s OK if” or “I think it’s OK if I…..” I need to realize as I look over that fence into the netherworld the grass only looks greener. It’s just an optical illusion.

I don’t recall seeing any exception to the Ten Commandments. It’s not like the English language with all kinds of ambiguous rules like “i” before “e” except after “c” or if followed by “i”, “y” or “e”; but not always. Its more like math, two plus two is four, now and for all eternity. I like math. It’s easy, there is no confusion. I like God‘s rules, they are easy and there is no confusion. I am happy in God’s world.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for making life simple and easy. I pray you give me the wisdom to always reduce problems to the lowest common denominator, and to understand the paradox of life.

“For Freedom can be found, laden down, under the weight of the wood”

Amen
