† The Puppet † And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. Luke 6:31 ESV The stoplight changed to green and we started to make a right hand turn when suddenly an out-of-state black SUV made a sweeping u-turn in front of us, crossed three lanes and almost hit us. Then they flipped us off. I felt very strongly about this and all kinds of crazy thoughts raced through my mind. At that moment I would have taken great pleasure in breaking their finger off…we drove passed them and let it go. External things should not affect us that way. When they do, you are merely a puppet with strings that people can pull. They can control your actions by simply pulling the right string. We are to treat others like we would like to be treated and let that junk inside of us that rises up, die a slow and painful death. When it comes to the surface and we take no action, it will eventually leave. James 4:7 reads “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Don’t be anyones puppet today. Do not let them pull your strings. Resist the temptation to make a fool of yourself. As you submit yourself to God, these tests will come. When we resist it, those things inside of us that want to scream will eventually leave. After enough resisting, the strings will finally be cut and you will no longer be controlled like a puppet. Yours in Christ, Dion Todd - Pastor/Servant
