“Don’t burn your bridges,” is a very common saying in my country. It is usually advice given by an older adult to a younger adult, or a person farther along in a journey… On the surface, that is pretty sound advice. But on a sleepless and lonely night, it couldn’t be more horrible.
As I listened more, the topic of faith came up. In short, faith was defined as believing what God says. Believing what God says. Well what does God say? BOOM! Then I thought of a discipline that I had long steered away from and that is: scripture memorization!
I am not a fighter. I do not like hurting people or being hurt by people, especially physically. If I have the opportunity to fight or make peace, I’d rather make peace. However, there is an exception…
“Lord if you… I promise I’ll be…” “Lord if you… I won’t… anymore” “Lord if you … I will REMAIN.” How many of us have said this over and over? Just me? You need to repent if you just lied lol! But seriously, far too many times we give God the “if He then we,” empty promises. I’m here today to tell US to cut it out.
