The Fingers Pointing Back

We don't usually like to confront the you that only you know. You parade around using your image and activity to cloak the very thing holding you back. That is until your wake up call happens. For me that was Saturday. In the middle of a session, just passing through a corridor, just in a simple conversation I got hit. You know God is telling somebody to tell you something when they don't know your business and read you like a open novel going past simple religious rhetoric and piercing the heart (the true you screaming to be let out). Your wants, your desires, your fears, your doubts and your excuses collide and smash together and all are disintegrated by Biblical truth you claim to live by. A lot of people say stuff and give you unwanted "advice" but this is different it's not what somebody else has deduced, sized up or envisioned for you it's what God wants. It lines up with His word, His nature and His character. It's easy to make comparisons and rate yourself better than somebody but that's not the true measuring stick. It's the three fingers pointing back that get us because when we judge it's a reminder ours is coming. We are going to get a taste of what we evaluate from the outside first hand. Normally we just cry "God why?" without checking ourselves to see if this is an attack from the enemy or something we've sown. It's easy for us to get people to conform to our ways and not consider them but what happens when the boomerang comes back. We want change but we won't change what we're doing and expecting different results. We're settling instead of waiting for God's best. We're moving on emotion instead of being led by the Spirit. We're refusing to let God heal the hurt and prepare us for what He has for us. We can look at others but we should never forget the fact of the fingers pointing back.

One.
