The Rope

It's raining here today in Blacksburg, SC.  It started last night and has rained on and off all day.  It's hard to get motivated when it's raining.  It's a good time to take a nap, watch an old movie or play Words With Friends on Facebook.

That's what I was doing when I found myself sitting idle waiting for my opponents (I have 7 games going at the moment) to play their words.  While waiting, I decided to organize my Pictures folder on my computer's hard drive. 

I started with pictures of my cats (naturally).  I noticed I had cat pictures in several different folders.  I started searching for all my cat pictures and moving them into one folder.  In one particular folder that had a bunch of different pictures, I came upon these.

I received them in an email.  The subject line was THE ROPE.  The date I saved the pictures was 9/1/2006, so I've had them for quite a few years and didn't remember that I'd saved them.  Stumbling on to them today seemed like a wink from God.  There's a message here I believe He wants me to share with you.  You may have seen this before, but it is worthy of repeating.



Isaiah 41:13 (NIV) says, "For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."

Whatever it is that you may be going through, holding on to, or trying to get away from, just let go and let God.
