The thing about denial is that it does the same thing as leeches, it sucks the life out of you. Because every moment in denial are precious moments of life lost that will never be returned. If you see a chicken crossing the road, with a sign that says ‘I am not a chicken’ would you believe it? Believing the clucking, winged, animal is not a chicken, would be an example of denial. See the chicken for who he really is, do not allow the chicken to deceive you.
The sooner I began to acknowledge things, situations, people, and even my own personal faults for what they really were, the sooner life became easier for me. Many times we know what the answer to our life’s questions really are. Yet, instead we run away in every direction but the right direction. We accumulate bad habits to fill the void, remain hesitant about fully committing to living a life for Christ, portraying one lifestyle to friends and family, while harboring secrets of another in our hearts. These decisions are like mazes. One dead end after another, no map guiding our way, no GPS tracking our movements to provide assistance with our direction. But Psalm 91 say:
‘He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the Shadow of the Almighty I will say of the Lord He is my Refuge and my Fortress my God in Him will I trust’.
So, the choice I made was to finally stop running in circles and started to re-evaluate my position. Still, re-evaluating my position. Because my position must be where ever God is. That’s the only place I’m protected. In that place I find trust, refuge, and direction. In His habitation there are no mazes, just God’s Word, which is a lamp unto my feet. And see this time around my aim is towards Heaven. My mind is fixed and my heart is made up. Because no matter how many times I replay the script of my life in my head it ends with… And then what? If I achieve my goals, hopes, aspirations and dreams then what? What part of my life will have been of value to others? What will I say to God when I stand before His throne and assume accountability for the gifts and talents He’s placed within me? These are the questions I ask myself. These are the questions I ask you. So let’s arise from the slumber of denial and live. Get our houses in order, our relationships in order, our lives in order. Let the truth make us free, and let us make our habitation under the shadow of our Creator and our Protector.
