Held
by a hair by You’ve
probably heard the saying, “Boys will be boys!” Let me give you an example to prove it
true yet again! Growing
up with an older brother meant he and I were always
looking for new, fun and exciting ideas.
So one day, during March fly (larger than a normal house fly) season,
we decided to try an experiment.
Upon catching
the insect we carefully attached the cow’s hair and then let the fly go. With all its effort the fly whisked away
thinking that it was free. But for two
boys it provided the best afternoon’s entertainment – seeing this fly going
around in circles, held by a hair! Have you
had that ‘de-ja-vu’ experience? How often do you feel like you are going
around in circles? Christians
are prone to stay focused on their sin or the challenges they are facing in
their lives. This often leads to a
circular approach to life, returning to the same struggle yet again! It is
only when you are frustrated, tired and sick of living this way that God can
do something. The answer is really
simple. It is in looking to Him,
letting Him cut the strings that attach you, that you can be released to fly
with unfettered freedom. Let go!
Let God cut the strings! Here is good
news… “But
to us, Lord, be merciful, for we have waited for you. Be our strength each
day and our salvation Today, repent, and let God cut any strings! |

The
first stage was to carefully sneak up behind several cows and remove a few
long pieces of hair from their tails.
