Subject: God allowing things in our lives |
Bible Note: May I use a picture that I was taught many years ago? It's a picture of a game reserve: in the very center (near the Throne) we are very protected (not completely as we are still in the world, and the world will always have troubles), as we move away from the center of protection (walking more in our own ways) we become more vulnerable to the worlds woes and the adversary. As we move further away, we eventually will cross that invisible line where there is no protection (for we are now totally out of the will of the Father) and the adversary can legally attempt to harm us. It's a worldly type picture, I know, but one that rang true and has helped me understand when things start going terribly wrong that I'm getting way too far away from God's protective wings that He wants so for us to stay under. I pray this helps you Cheri |
