"I will walk around in wide-open spaces, because I have pursued your precepts." Psalm 119:45
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a box? One of the things that everyone associate boxes with is moving! It is the dread of every person to go through the process of packing away what is worth taking.
Boxes are heaven sent! We use them to stow away and protect our valuables, keep us organized and make things easy to transport. Without them, moving or storing would be a logistic nightmare! Although moving can be a pain, we can appreciate its use and how it aids us in making transition easy from one place to another.
As wonderful as the concept of boxes are they can be seen as a major hindrance. We all have heard the expression "out of the box". It encourages exploration, creativity and new ways of thinking. As we assess our lives, we can identify moments where we stayed in the box. Over time we formed mental, social, emotional and spiritual boxes that we constructed for our mind. We packed away our liberty and freedom in exchange for false security. The box we use to protect what we deem valuable is the very box that is confining and preventing us from stepping out and living a purpose driven life. We learned to organize our lives in a confined space by limiting what comes in and out.
Why? Somewhere along the way we experienced trauma in our lives that impacted our belief system. That encounter enabled us to build a customized box for our protection. Whether it was something spoken or done to us that made us retreat to our box, our actions caused us to setup walls.
But the good news is that we don't have to stay there! Jesus Christ by his blood has freed us from the confinement of our guilt, shame, regret, hurt, pain and trauma. He made healing and deliverance available to us to help us break free from the restraints that seek to suffocate our life.
God has enabled us to "walk around in wide-open spaces"...it is not his will for us to be confined by the limitation of our mind or negative experiences. We don't have to live in the box that we create for ourselves, for the ones that others place us in or even the enemy.
So you might be wondering, if this is true, how can I be free? Well, I am glad you asked. God has made a way of escape, the plan is simple... You need a made up mind and a desire to pursue God and his will. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you out!
God wants us to step out and discover the benefits of living free, whole and delivered.
We must believe that he has a plan for our lives and we can't fulfill or walk it out without a renewed mind and a regenerated heart. Today, I pray that the strength of God's right hand pulls you up and out of the confinement of your mind and break the restraints from your heart. May he deliver you into your season of better days and may you experience the joy of his freedom and the peace of true security in him.
