Devotionals
At the library I see the sign: Directors Office.
And I think how much easier it would be if someone else would direct my life. If they would make all of the decisions and choices, right or wrong, and then deal with the consequences.
I am like the cowardly lion that wishes for courage, wanting it, but even more afraid of if I had it.
Like the scarecrow that wishes for the wisdom, but afraid to be asked for answers.
Like the tin man wanting to have a heart, but afraid it will be broken.
Like the wizard, hiding who I really am, so no one will really see me.
Like Dorothy, wanting to go home, but searching for the way.
How can I be all of these characters and of any use to God? I ask myself this all of the time. I become weighed down by the storms of life, by the whispers of the past, and the fear of the future.
I feel like a fraud during the battles of my self and the enemy of my soul.
And in the midst of these battles of turmoil between my flesh and spirit, I hear loving reminders of whose daughter I am. A beloved daddy who reminds me of who I am treasured by, whom I can trust. Whose hands I can lay it all in. My Lord, my shelter, my peace.
1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
