wedges

have you ever seen anyone cut a tree down the old-fashioned way-with an ax and a wedge? the cutter chops a slice in the side of the tree and the uses an ax or a sledgehammer to drive a wedge shaped like the head of the ax farther into the tree. the pressure of the wedge causes a weakness and separation in the tree, making it easier to chop it down. sounds "canggih" right? even i never tried it before, maybe we should all try it one day and see how tough it actually is to chop down a tree.

anyways, what i am trying to say is the weakness and separation can happen in our relationship with God too. an unconfessed sin, an attitude of rebellion against HIS will, or an unforgiving spirit toward someone who did you wrong is like a wedge between God and you. it weakens your fellowship with HIM and it causes a break in the lines of communication towards Heaven. spiritual wedges make you vulnerable to the attacks of your spiritual enemy without you even knowing it sometimes.

the longer the wedge is left there, the more that separation weakens your relationship with God. so, get rid of it quickly, ask God to forgive you for the things that separate you from HIM and start forgiving everyone else. get rid of the wedges so you can live a wedge free and happy life with God beside you. have a nice day all of you !!!
