To switch the shoes and get them on to the right feet doesn’t take much effort and is part of the process of learning.
What I mean is that when you
have the right shoes on, but they are on the wrong foot, that is an easy thing
to adjust. But when you have the wrong shoes on the right feet, not only does
it hinder your walk, but it also hurts your feet. Perhaps the discomfort may be because your
shoes are on the wrong feet; perhaps they are the wrong shoes.
So what do you do when you
discover that not only is it the wrong shoe on the wrong foot, but also the
wrong shoe? Do you continue your walk through life as though nothing is wrong,
or do you stop and make adjustments? How long will you go on? “and how’s that working for you?”
This isn’t about perseverance
or trying harder or “giving it more time”. This is about stopping and admitting
that it just isn’t working! This is about stopping and admitting that what
you’ve been doing isn’t working and that you need to make changes.
If this is where you are at
today; STOP whatever you are doing and admit that you need to do something
different. It is time to admit the hurt, to admit the disappointment, and the
struggle to ‘make things work’. It is time to simply stop.
No more trying to make it
work. Take off the shoes and let God fit you with new ones. He alone knows what
the correct “shoes” are for you; the right plans for you. As it says in the
Bible:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and
a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to
you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me
with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:11-13 NKJV)
Have you had enough of what
this world has to offer and want true freedom?
