it was an image. then came diction.
pardon the use of literary technique for i'm sitting for my literature paper at 14 30 later.
many times in our walk with God, we tend to try too hard with our own strength,
it's like hanging off a high cliff, fearing that we will fall to our deaths should we ever loosen our grip.
very often, the devil will stand on the cliff and urge us to try to climb up, for should we ever choose to loosen our grip, or should we ever lose the physical strength that we now possess, we are going to die.
he'd come and step hardddddd on our drained and weary fingers and yet, entreat us to pull ourselves up.
to the logical human or even animalistic mind, the devil appears ... encouraging.
for our minds know that falling off/loosing grip = the end.
it's like the stockholm syndrome where the devil attempts to make us loyal to him by the constant manipulation of our minds.
but guess that. the Bible says "not by might nor by power but by My Spirit".
as we start to take that step of faith to renounce the devil and to trust in the power of the Lord, as we choose to let go of that cliff,
as we fall, we will feel all powerless, in fact we know that we will be all powerless...
but it is during a time as such,
when we are all powerless, when we choose to do it by faith and not according to mere heard knowledge or teachings of the world,
that we will experience the perfect power of God.
God will send His angels to hold us,
He will send the Holy spirit to help us,
He will send people to encourage us,
and of course, God will also do it Himself.
He'll stretch out His hand to us in times of trouble and woe, when we feel like that situation cannot be resurrected...
He will be there, just on time.
we will not fall to our deaths when we let go of the cliff and choose to trust God. for the Bible says "a righteous man may fall seven times" but each time, he will "rise again" & we have all been made righteous in the eyes of God through the blood of Jesus Christ.
p.s.: please do not attempt to jump down a cliff now alright. the "cliff" illustration is merely a metaphor, not literal.
& please pardon my ugly drawings, i tried my best. >.<>
