ROPES

These play such an important part in life. We need them so often when we fall into a hole.

And that is so essential to continuing whatever path we need to follow. But no matter how often we know to avoid the holes there will be new ones.

The hard part is to avoid the rope that becomes a noose. It is so easy to grab for just any rope.

The motivation being that escape is the key. That any means available to escape is the one that you reach to embrace.

Course it might look good at the time. It might be something that your mind says is the perfect answer.

Only when you are half way up it breaks. Then you notice that it was not as strong as you assumed in the beginning.

So you end up back at the bottom of the hole feeling worse than when you thought you had no help. Which is not a good thing.

The Lord knows the rope that we really need. For that is the one that you have to accept is the best.

Oh it might not look ideal when you first look at it. For with the Lord faith is always part of the process.

And that is the part that aspect that can be hard to deal with. Because the mind is under stress and wants only what is logical.

But that is not what is part of how we are supposed to deal with things. It is a lot harder to trust to His rope than the one that looks perfect.

For that I am always grateful that even though I have reached for the wrong rope to many times, e still is there the next time. His grace never stops making the rope available.

Oh perhaps we can you know give up on looking for it, but it will still be ours when we can to trust. Even if we have grabbed for the wrong one way to often.

The hard part is truly being able to swallow one's pride and accept you were wrong. Admitting it in a prayer can be even harder.

But avoiding it can a sad option. For we never learn or grow in the process. Which is the tragedy.

Seen so many do that. Easy to forget to look first to God for our deliverance.
