”KEEP GATE CLOSED”

Doesn’t this look ridiculous???  They have a gate in the middle of nowhere and it is even chained and locked shut!  Asking someone to keep the gate closed is ridiculous.  Even more crazy is someone who would stand at the gate and wonder how they would get through to the other side.  We would think they are a few french fries short of a happy meal, a brick short of a load, …

This is what Satan does in our lives.  We are walking along doing just great when he throws up a gate.  Not a fence – a gate.  He even shuts it, puts a sign on it and locks it.  Some of us stand there in disbelief as to why there is an obstacle in their way!? How are we going to keep moving in life!? What am I going to do!?

We are immobilized and stopped dead in our tracks.  And the enemy scampers away in joy knowing that we will stand there and not see that the gate isn’t keeping anything back except for us.  It is so simple to just walk a few feet around it and keep moving.  But sometimes we stay there because walking a few feet away either isn’t in our line of sight or seems just too hard.

Don’t let the enemy throw up a gate to try to stop you.  Be smarter than that! God has already won the battle.  Jesus took the keys to Hell and you have a way around.  Just keep your trust in God and know that there is always a way to keep pursuing and following Christ.

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ,….!”  2 Corinthians 2:14
