9. Keep Me Tethered

 

“Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”  Psalm 2:3 

 

Breaking away from the lies of the deceiver and trusting the truth of God’s Word will bring quick and everlasting relief. Only the fool holds on to a lie and they that do are deceived. When the believer is persuaded to follow something which is perpetuated by a lie they are also deceived and become unproductive in their witness. 

 
Man’s desire to be independent of GOD’s rule over himself is born out of an ungrateful heart for the love GOD has for him. Satan is the father of this lie! When we are led by God’s Word in “all” matters we are then able to be successful in our call to be witnesses to this lost and dyeing world. 

 

Man proved to himself in the Garden his lack of self-control when he ate the fruit of the tree which was forbidden. If man cannot control himself, is it not logical to receive help from the One who loves and cares, the One that knows every hair on their head?   

 

Just as GOD placed a tree in the Garden of Eden, He also placed a tree in a garden on Calvary’s Hill where His SON, GOD incarnate, JESUS was crucified!  As for me I would much rather live for the One that has shown so much love for me than the one that has proven himself defeated!   

 

Keep me tethered with the cord of life, 

As the baby in the womb. 

Feed me with Your undying love. 

You expressed from the tomb!  
 

 Put Your arms of love around me, 

And link me with this cord. 

Allow us now and forever, 

To be of one accord. 

 

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17)
