Our mind is the source of our perception of the world. We see everything through the lens of our experience filtered through either reason or faith.
We frame everything in regards to what we’ve come to believe is the reality around us. It is our safe space, our comfort zone but it’s really a cage if it’s constructed from reason not faith.
We become imprisoned, snared and in bondage to what we believe. You’re either in bondage to what you believe or are liberated by what you believe in the Word. “Allen D Bruce”
The truth of the Word, both written and living in the person of Jesus unlocks that cage. We hide inside the comfortable “safety” of our beliefs which we’ve constructed from our experience. The world makes sense when we view it from our protected place in the cage. It keeps out anything that contradicts its bars. Yes the very bars which make up our cage are made from ideas and thoughts reasoned out in our minds.
When Jesus shows us the way, the truth and the light our caged world is shattered and freedom rushes in.
Faith opens a whole new world outside the cage and we begin to see clearly the limitless possibilities of life in the Spirit. The more we seek Him, His face, His glory, the more He leads us into all righteousness and orders our steps. The whole world, outside the cage, falls into place and our life has new meaning well beyond the visible sphere.
It is in the relentless pursuit of Papa God that we find our true purpose and fulfillment. Free from that cage we built to keep us “safe”.
Let us keep going after God for there is freedom in no-one else.
