Elmer Fudd, Brutus and Richard Nixon
I see a deer running and leaping through the woods. He is hunted by three men. It’s Elmer Fudd, Brutus and Richard Nixon.
Every time the deer looks back, fear comes across his face. But, as he moves forward, his leaps take increasing ground. He runs until, at last, he reaches a pond by a waterfall where he lies down.
The hunters reach him there but are unable to shoot for the light reflecting off of the pond blinds them. The sounds of the rushing waters make it too loud to talk. The hunters simply turn around and walk back to where they came from.
There are many things in our past that we think want to come back and hunt us down. Most of that stuff needs to be let go. Forgiveness has already occurred. Those that still need to be dealt with in the natural should be dealt with. Make the call. Send the note. Have that lunch. For, the window is closing.
“I shall rise upon you in great glory, and when I make you free, you are free indeed. Do not let fear or your enemies keep you from moving into all that I have purposed for you.”
John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
