RUN TO HIM

After harvest the stubble that is left in the fields must be burned.  This prepares the land for the next rotation.  The fires had been lit, one on one end and one on the other.  The flames were working there way to the middle.  Jay decided he would drive in between the fields to get back to his truck. The fire was far enough away so he had plenty of time.  He came upon the duck pit so he road onto the levy.  That didn’t work out so well, he ended upside down.  There was no way he could turn the ranger back over.   The flames were approaching.  The only choice he had was to run and that he did. 

Have you ever been in a situation where things were on fire and you needed to get out of there?  When this happens what do you do?  Do you run?

We face many difficulties in life.  Some of these situations we don’t want to face.  We try to sprint towards the nearest exit and escape, however this is impossible.  Jonah tried to escape.  He ran, however God new exactly where he was.  That is when he ended up in a dark belly with no exit signs. 

The only exit signs you will find when traveling through difficult circumstances is God.  He is the way out of the fire.  Run to Him and only Him.    He will rescue you from the heat. 

Run to Him and escape the unkind world.  Run to Him and be able to face whatever situation or circumstance you find yourself in.  When you run to him you will be free from the smoke that is lingering around you.  He will enable you to breathe the fresh air again. 

Run to your exit sign and escape the fire!
