I love watching movies like Pride and Prejudice. I love the era, the dress, the opulence. In the case of Miss Elizabeth Bennett, there was no opulence however Mr. Darcy lived in a mansion. In alot of these type movies, there almost always seem to be meticulously trimmed hedges that form a most fabulous maze.
I love the parts where the girl just wanders in for a stroll then looses her bearings and ends up lost in the intricacy of the maze. The scene is heightened by a look of fear or ominous music. Alas, the master of the home comes to her rescue. Why can he do that? Because he live there, he has memorized the maze and he knows exactly how to rescue her. The beauty of it all is that he will always rescue her before darkness falls upon her.
As I read through my Bible this morning, a scripture I read was right on point with this.
Many times as we wonder along in life we may fall into a maze. We may go left with no relief or go right with no outlet. In fact, the deeper we go, the more trapped we get. We may stay in there so long that the darkness falls upon us.
How do we make it out of our self imposed mazes? We look to the Master. He has given us what we need to get out of our maze and follow him to an "A-mazing Journey." So if you feel lost, stuck, disoriented, or confused; if you fear darkness will fall upon you, know that He has given you what you need to live a life of godliness and keep you out of the maze. Rely on His divine power and His Word.
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us his very great and precious promises so that through them, you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:3-4
