You didn’t hear much from me this morning with my Sunshine post. Sometimes it happens that way. BUT this early afternoon when I read just the name of Elaine’s post I knew it was going to be one that I needed – big time!

She entitled it burning the bridge to Egypt. .   and I am offering you a link HERE to read it.  It will be worth every moment of time you invest.

This is one of the sentences that stopped me in my reading tracks:

In Egypt, obedience is mandated. In Canaan, obedience is chosen.

The world, the Evil One and my flesh, DEMAND that I obey them. And sad to say, I often – oh to my shame – often, is too shallow a description of the times I obey: it, him and the natural KT.  BUT look at that lovely word c h o s e n! Our entrance to and our remaining in Canaan is built on choosing. We find FREEDOM when we choose and BONDAGE when we bow to demands.  But that’s enough from me. PLEASE pop on over and read Elaine today. You won’t regret it.
