In all this world of shifting sand, toppling standards, hollow-voiced leaders, there is a secure place. Jesus makes it plain: "I am the door , if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and find pasture." ( John 10:1-18)
In this safe place place we can rest, enjoy freedom from fear, and have all the provision we need. Sounds mighty good. David experienced this place in Psalm 34:4: "I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears."
Can you imagine what it would be like - total freedom from fear? Freedom from lie-enslavement to the enemy who "comes only to steal and kill and destroy." As Psalm 34 declares, God goes about this emancipation as we continue to seek Him.
Jesus already paid the price: "I am the good shepherd; The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." If we will only keep returning to God and not distractions, we will have the great reward: "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
Thank you, Jesus, for becoming the door to life!
