Tonight, I saw the play “Johnny Pie” on campus. The entire thing was beautiful, I so enjoyed getting caught up in the story!
Basically, the play gives an entire overview of a man’s life.
In his life, he is constant fear of death. In the end, he finds that his fear was never justified. He embraced death like and old friend.
The play was beautiful…and I was moved.
The truth is that so many of the things that we fear end up like that…
We hold onto worry and stress that never needed to be a part of the picture that is our lives. We were made for freedom, yet we still cling to the bars of our prisons.
I think that a part of the reason for this is in the fact that we still forget the fact that God has paid out debts. He has wiped the slate clean and gotten rid of that which we fear.
At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite. He shall not require payment from his fellow Israelite or brother, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.
Deuteronomy 15:1-3
God is all about bringing debt and worry to an end. The challenge for us is to let God remove the debt and to forgive those around us so that they are free from free as well.
