SIN'S EXIT (3)

FINDING THE EXIT
Drivers confronted with an exit sign can still miss the off-ramp. This is especially true when traveling at a high rate of speed. However a freeway motorist can’t just stop to locate his exit. He simply stays seated and watches for it to appear. Never the less motorists must look in the right place to find their exit. So where does one look for God’s exit from a self-destructive compulsion? Well God is Spirit and so we look for His Spirit with our spirit: not our mind or our emotions. Upon seeing the exit sign (temptation) the only thing we contribute is turning our spiritual gaze from the freeway to the ramp. How hard is that? It is an internal glance of our spirit toward His Spirit. If we seek Him there, the Bible says, we will find Him. In fact no one comes to God unless the Father by His Holy Spirit is drawing them from within.
However we must recognize Him when we see Him. Believe it or not Western Man, like you and me, usually glans over at the ramp and drive on by unaware that we just missed our exit. This crucial element of the processes is the topic of the next “Exit” post (4). To continue click on this post heading to find SIN'S EXIT (4)-(7) displayed under that Blog Archive.
