WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

Do you ever feel like a hamster? Just think about it for a moment. Our life cycle is somewhat comparable. A hamster lives in cage, stays up all night because they have insomnia, and waits for someone to throw them a carrot. After they have moved the mess around in what they call home, they jump on a wheel and run like crazy thinking they are getting somewhere. Then the time comes when the cage door is open and they are lifted to freedom or occasionally they escape. Once they are set free, the fun begins. Someone forgot to tell them about the family cat, the children that will chase them and this monster called the vacuum. After a near fatal day, they are placed back in their cage to start all over again. Does any of this sound familiar? What does your cage look like? It may be a health issue, martial problems, finances, or something else that keeps you from freedom. What food are you eating? Do you feed off what others say about you or do you eat the daily bread of the Word of God? How about running your little legs off and getting nowhere. Instead of facing issues and resolving them, we just move them around or push them under the rug hoping they will go away. More often then not those things keep us awake at night. We always dream of the day we will be happy like when our children are grown, we retire, we get a bigger house, or a better job. But with those wonderful things come some unexpected circumstances. That's when we want to retreat back to our comfort zone and start over. Have you ever heard that doing the same thing and expecting different results is completely ridiculous? Let's break the hamster mentality and place our future in the One who holds the future. The word says I set before you life and death, choose life. Let's start making some much needed changes and see God move.
