Battling with Strings

What can the world offer?

Many of us are like puppets in the world. We are tied by the 'world-strings' of wealth, status and comforts of the world.

Little that we know, there are another set of strings. Some of us are tied by invisible strings. Strings that hold you with GOD, strings that we do not see but yet, EXIST.

The strings of the world will leave you crippled once it snaps. You began to feel that the world is like a huge maze – lost, desperate and eventually despair – because the only things you know of the world are just wealth, status and comforts. And, it has been a part of you for as long as you start to look unto these material things.

The strings of the lives of some of us as Christians are tied to God hands. Strings that are woven so strongly that will never snap in many of our circumstances and trying times. And, in these very Hands of GOD, HE guides every strings to the right paths (Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 139:9-10), He made us unique (Psalm 139:13-14) and gives each one of us roles (Ephesians 2:10) to work on in the world with constant teaching and guidance and holding on to the each one of us so that we would not trip and fall (Jeremiah 29:11), with much of HIS patience and love; before we reach our eventual destination.

He takes a great deal of effort to make our lives in the world worth living; manifesting Himself constantly to give us the comfort and assurance. And, telling us that HE is always there and that HE will never let go on the strings we are holding on.

In trouble and trying times, HE will hold on to us more tightly.

Most times we do not feel secure is because we cannot see what lies ahead. Hence, we tend to cling on to the strings of the world; strings that we thought will give securities and fulfilments in lives.

Grab on the right strings, today.

Have faith and be secured because we are tied by the strings of God (Psalm 136) - although we do not see it, but it is there tied on to us tightly.

HE never fails because HE is the GOD!
