ESCAPE FORWARD AND FLY HIGH

Do you find yourself in a real bind? Has something in your life gone so wrong that you just want to run and hide? That is the natural tendency in all of us when terrible circumstances overwhelm us, but God wants to use every one of these situations to train us and to literally change the direction of our life. When everything in us wants to run backwards, God wants us to turn around and flee forward! There is nothing in our new spiritual nature that would motivate us to shrink back in fear; God has created us to "run to the roar!" ESCAPE FORWARD AND FLY HIGH LIKE AN EAGLE. God Himself says, :"Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him".(Hebrews 10:38, kjv) But the next verse tells us that we are not a people who draw back. We flee forward! Nothing stops us from moving ahead. A tremendous example of this is in the book of Acts when, having just been flogged by the Jews:

"And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ."

Acts 5:41-42, KJV)

We all want to escape painful circumstances. But the difference between the true believers who are victorious in Christ and those who fall back, lies in the direction of flight. Don't run back...flee forward and lay hold of God mercy. Be faithful...
