" Because the power of Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds. " Judges 6:2 For 7 years Midian was so oppressive that the people looked to a cave for security and hope rather than the Lord. Sounds crazy, how much can a cave really rescue and redeem? A cave is isolation, darkness, walls put up and can only provide a place to hide. We can allow hard times, times promised by Jesus to come, to cause us to hide and become more unhealthy or we can cling to the light, Jesus. When irritations and impatience abounds, lets press into it and love with the love the Lord provides instead of run to a cave. When passive aggressive communication happens or harsh words spill, lets not run to isolation and wall put up, but lets stand in the strength the lord provides and communicate pursuing peace. Let's run from the caves to Jesus our marvelous Light. If you've learned something, been encouraged or challenged with you share with others?
